Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Fries
- 4 sweet potatoes peeled and cut into sticks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Sea salt to taste
Toasted Marshmallow Dip
- 1/2 bag marshmallows (approximately 1 cup)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Prepare the sweet potatoes: Put the sweet potato sticks into a large bowl. Add olive oil and sea salt. Toss well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
- Arrange for baking: Line one or two baking sheets with tin foil or parchment paper. Spread the sweet potatoes out in a single layer without overlapping.
- Bake the fries: Preheat your oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake the sweet potatoes for 30 minutes, or until crispy and tender, depending on the thickness of the fries.
- Prepare marshmallows for toasting: While the fries bake, line a cake pan with tin foil and arrange the marshmallows in a single layer on it.
- Toast the marshmallows: Add the marshmallows to the oven alongside the sweet potatoes. Roast them for about 5 minutes or until they puff up and develop a toasted golden brown color. For a deeper toasted flavor, you can leave them in slightly longer.
- Blend the dip: Transfer toasted marshmallows to a blender. Add heavy cream and blend until smooth and creamy. If the dip is too thick, blend in a little more cream to reach desired consistency.
- Finish and serve: Remove the sweet potato fries from the oven and taste for seasoning, adding more salt if necessary. Serve the hot fries with the toasted marshmallow dip for dipping.
Notes
- Use parchment paper instead of foil for easier cleanup and crispier fries.
- Adjust the olive oil quantity if you prefer lighter fries.
- For a vegan version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use vegan marshmallows.
- Be careful not to burn the marshmallows while toasting; keep an eye on their color closely.
- The thicker the fries, the longer they need to bake; slice evenly for consistent cooking.
