What’s your go to fry? Thick cut? A wedge? Skinny lil string fries? And how do you feel about sweet potato fries? I’m a big fan, but only when they’re crispy and that sweet flavour is balanced with some spice!
And that’s just what we have here thanks to @mccormick_aus Caribbean Jerk Street Food Seasoning. This seasoning is zesty, peppery and so flavoursome – and not just for chicken;)
Some important things to remember:
- preheating your oven tray helps get these fries crispy rather than steamy
- Don’t worry if they look soft when you turn them, they will crisp up if you leave them to do their thing. Do not hurry them.
- Lining the tray makes the fries easy to turn.
- Don’t crowd them, cook in batches of you need to.
- One big aluminium tray that fills the whole depth and width of your oven is better than 2 trays on different shelves.
Serves 2-4
Ingredients
500g sweet potato
1 packet @mccormick_aus Caribbean Jerk Street Food Seasoning
1 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
Lime to serve
Mayo
⅓ cup mayonnaise
⅓ cup plain yoghurt
2 tsps lime juice
½ tsp lime zest
½ tsp maple syrup
salt to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 220C with the tray you’ll be using in it.
Slice sweet potato into long chips 1.5cm wide and max of 5mm thick. No need to peel.
Place the potato in a bowl. Sprinkle ⅔ of @mccormick_aus Caribbean Jerk Street Food Seasoning over them and then add the oil. Use your hands to toss and spread the oil and seasoning evenly over the fries.
Line the preheated tray and place fries in a single layer. Place in the preheated oven and turn the temp down to 210. Bake for 20 mins. Turn and bake for 20 more or until crisp. Turn the oven down if they’re getting too much colour.
Meanwhile, place all the mayo ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth.
To serve, sprinkle the crispy fries with leftover seasoning. Dip and munch!
