Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Fries
- 4 sweet potatoes peeled and cut into sticks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Sea salt to taste
Toasted Marshmallow Dip
- 1/2 bag marshmallows (approximately 7 ounces)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Place the sweet potato sticks into a large bowl. Add olive oil and sea salt, then toss thoroughly to coat every piece evenly.
- Arrange for Baking: Line one or two baking sheets with tin foil or parchment paper. Spread the coated sweet potatoes out in a single layer without overcrowding.
- Bake Sweet Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake the sweet potatoes for 30 minutes, or until they are crisp on the outside and tender inside, adjusting time depending on the thickness.
- Toast Marshmallows: While the fries are baking, line a cake pan with tin foil and arrange the marshmallows in a single layer. Place the pan in the oven alongside the fries and bake for about 5 minutes or until the marshmallows puff up and start to toast.
- Make the Dip: Add the toasted marshmallows and heavy cream to a blender. Scrape off any sticky residue from the pan to include. Blend until smooth, adding more cream if necessary to reach a dip-like consistency.
- Season and Serve: Remove the fries from the oven and check seasoning, adding more sea salt if needed. Serve the sweet potato fries warm with the toasted marshmallow dip on the side.
Notes
- Use parchment paper instead of tin foil for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- For thinner fries, reduce baking time to avoid burning.
- To make the dip thinner or thicker, adjust the amount of heavy cream accordingly.
- Ensure marshmallows are toasted to your preferred level for deeper flavor but watch closely to prevent burning.
- This recipe serves great as a party appetizer or cozy side dish for family meals.
