These Baked Crunchy Sweet Potato Fries are a crispy, fries recipe with garlic, avocado aioli dipping sauce. This low-calorie side dish makes the perfect side dish or snack!
I absolutely LOVE French fries, so it is time to tackle sweet potato fries that are crispy and crunchy. I am a huge burger person, so naturally, I love fries as well. My favorites are the really thick, steak fries type. It can be hard to resist a craving for fries. Carbs are my weakness. Sweet potatoes are a great way to mildly reduce guilt. They have a lot less starch than regular potatoes and still taste great!
I paired my Garlic Avocado Aioli with the fries. The combination was great! A paired dipping sauce really brings out the amazing quality of these fries.
Before placing the fries in the oven, I lightly brushed them with oil to help produce the perfect crunch.
The color of the spices becomes really bold while baking.

Carbs are my weakness as well. I really love sweet potato fries and your recipe for them looks amazing. Loving that dipping sauce you used.

Yum! Love the sweetness of sweet potato and richness of avocado!

Carbs are my weakness too! But I like that sweet potatoes bring some other nutritional value to the table!

I've had a hard time getting sweet potato fries to be crispy. I love them, but they never quite get there, so I'm really excited to find your recipe to try. Thanks for posting this. Will be giving it a go.
Lucy @ Supergoldenbakes says
I'm noticing that you soak the sweet potatoes for an hour pre-cooking and wondering if that helps them crisp up.
staysnatched says
Yes, this worked for me. I read an article a while back and tested it out!
Kathy says
You wrote 1 tsp of garlic powder twice. Is that correct? Or did you intend another spice?
Thanks
Kathy says
Sorry, I mean 2 tsp garlic powder twice. So we should use 4 tsp? Is it divided? This wasn't specified in the instructions.
staysnatched says
It should be 2 tsp garlic powder. I revised the ingredients. Thanks for catching this!

Fallon B says
I attempted to make this without a recipe and the fries were fine but nothing to brag about. Then I decided to try this recipe and the tip to pre-soak I think really made a HUGE difference! The flavor! The crispiness!! I can't wait to make these again!
staysnatched says
I'm so glad you enjoyed these.
