This sweet potato fries recipe is not only delicious and healthy, but also quick to make! Plus the mint and basil dipping sauce is a divine flavor combo which you could use for other things too.
The fries are tossed with olive oil, aromatic curry powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper, and then baked in the oven.
While they’re baking, I whip up a healthy and super flavorful basil mint sauce for dipping.
And just like that, you’ve got an awesome side for lunch or dinner, or a tasty snack that’s super flavorful, and healthier than normal fries.
They sound simple, but they’re really quite special, and so very addictive!
