Preparation
Step 1
Peel the sweet potato. First, cut it in half, then each half into four quarters, and finally, each piece into three more pieces. It's important that the pieces are relatively even – this will ensure the sweet potato fries cook evenly.
Step 2
Pour one tablespoon of rapeseed oil into a medium-sized bowl. This will be our marinade. Add the spices (curry, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and salt) to the marinade. Mix all the ingredients together. To ensure the marinade evenly coats the sweet potatoes, it's best to spread it by hand. It's a bit of a mess, but trust me – it's worth it!
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius (420 degrees Fahrenheit) using a fan-forced setting. Remove the baking sheet and grease it with a little rapeseed oil. This will prevent the sweet potatoes from sticking. Spread the cut fries on the baking sheet. It's important to leave some space between them, as this will help the sweet potatoes cook better. Place the baking sheet in the oven for 15 minutes, then flip them over.
Step 4
Meanwhile, let's prepare our sweet potato fries sauce. The base is 250 grams of Greek yogurt, which is one small package. Add: 1 clove of garlic (chopped or pressed through a garlic press), a little dill, and half a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. You can also add a pinch of salt for flavor. Mix all the ingredients together and let the dip sit for a moment to "marry."
Step 5
After 15 minutes, flip the sweet potatoes and set the timer for another 15 minutes. After that, remove the fries from the oven. They are beautifully baked, and the aroma of cumin and curry fills the kitchen.
