🛒 Ingredients (Serves 4)

For the Sweet Potato Fries:

• 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1 lb)

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tsp paprika

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp chili powder (optional, for extra spice)

• 1 tsp salt

• ½ tsp black pepper

For the Spicy Garlic Dip:

• ½ cup Greek yogurt (or vegan yogurt for dairy-free)

• 2 tbsp mayonnaise

• 1 clove garlic, finely minced

• 1 tsp hot sauce (Sriracha or your favorite brand)

• ½ tsp smoked paprika

• Pinch of salt

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

   • Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into thin, even sticks.

   • Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

   🔪 Tip: The thinner the fries, the crispier they’ll be!

2. Season the Fries

   • Place the sweet potato sticks in a large bowl.

   • Drizzle with olive oil, then add paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.

3. Air Fry

   • Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

   • Place fries in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary).

   • Air fry for 12–15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until fries are golden and crispy.

   🍠 Tip: Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket—this ensures maximum crispiness.

4. Make the Dip

   • In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, garlic, hot sauce, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt.

   • Stir until smooth and creamy.

5. Serve

   • Transfer fries to a plate, sprinkle with extra salt if desired, and serve hot with spicy garlic dip.

🌱 Optional Variations

• Sweet & Spicy: Add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to the fries before air frying.

• Extra Crispy: Soak fries in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning.

• Different Dips: Try ranch, chipotle mayo, or guacamole for variety.

🔥 Food Safety Note

Sweet potatoes should be cooked until fork-tender. Always ensure your air fryer basket is clean and free of residue to avoid cross-contamination.
