Sweet potatoes, with their rich, sweet flavour and high fibre content, make an excellent base for a side dish that’s both satisfying and nutritious. Enjoy your spicy sweet potato fries as a side dish with burgers, grilled chicken, or fish, or simply snack on them on their own.

Preparation: Preheat your oven to 220°C (fan 200°C, gas mark 7). Line a baking tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Season the Fries: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Arrange the Fries: Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking tray, ensuring they’re not overcrowded to allow for even cooking and crispiness.

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning the fries halfway through the cooking time, until they’re golden, crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside.

Make the avocado dip: add garlic in a food processor. Pulse until minced, then add the ripe avocado, yogurt, fresh lemon juice, and mix until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, add a little coriander, and mix again.

Serving: Serve the spicy sweet potato fries immediately while they’re hot and crispy, accompanied by your avocado dipping sauce
