Sweet Potato Fries and Avocado Dip with Lime Essential Oil

With this recipe, every day can be fry-day! It’s easy to whip up for a personal snack or to double, triple, or even quadruple for an entire crowd during a summer get-together. Or maybe, if you’re like us, you’ll want to double, triple, or quadruple the recipe all for yourself. Don’t worry—this is a space free of judgement. We all love a good fry!

The best thing about this recipe (besides it being a breeze to make) is the ingredient list. Sweet potatoes, in moderation, are a healthier carb choice and avocados provide a delicious dose of healthy fats. Plus, the addition of Lime essential oil gives the dip a bright kick, making it a secret ingredient all your friends will be begging you to share. 

Ingredients: 
Fries

• 1-2 large sweet potatoes, unpeeled and cut into wedges
• 2-3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Kosher salt, to taste
• Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Dip

• 2 avocados
• 1-2 drops Lime essential oil
• 2-3 dashes hot sauce
• Kosher salt, to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 232° C. 
2. Toss all of the ingredients for the fries together in a sealed bag until evenly coated.
3. Place the sweet potatoes in an even layer on a large-rimmed baking sheet. 
4. Roast, turning once, until wedges are golden brown and crisp—about 25-30 minutes. 
5. While the fries are cooking, add all dip ingredients to a mini food processor and combine until smooth. 
6. Transfer the avocado dip to a bowl and serve alongside the sweet potato fries. 

Tip: For extra-crispy fries, add two to three tablespoons of cornstarch to the sealed bag with the other ingredients.
