Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Fries
- 4 medium sweet potatoes peeled and cut into sticks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Sea salt to taste
Toasted Marshmallow Dip
- 1/2 bag marshmallows (about 7 ounces)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Fries: Put the sweet potato wedges into a large bowl. Add olive oil and sea salt. Toss well to completely coat each piece with oil and seasoning.
- Arrange for Baking: Line one or two baking sheets with tin foil or parchment paper. Spread the sweet potato sticks in a single layer without overlapping to ensure even cooking.
- Bake the Fries: Place the baking sheets in a preheated oven at 475 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake for 30 minutes, turning or flipping halfway if desired, depending on the thickness of your fries, until crispy and cooked through.
- Prepare Marshmallows for Toasting: While the fries are baking, line a separate small cake pan with tin foil and arrange the marshmallows in a single layer.
- Toast Marshmallows: Add the marshmallow pan to the oven alongside the fries. Toast for about 5 minutes until marshmallows puff up and begin to brown lightly for a toasted flavor.
- Blend the Dip: Transfer the toasted marshmallows into a blender. Add the heavy cream. Since marshmallows are sticky, scrape off any excess from the pan to include. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding a little more cream if necessary to reach desired consistency.
- Season Fries and Serve: Remove fries from the oven and taste to adjust sea salt as needed. Serve the hot, crispy sweet potato fries immediately accompanied by the warm toasted marshmallow dip.
Notes
- Cut fries evenly for consistent baking.
- Use parchment paper for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- To achieve even crispier fries, flip them halfway through baking.
- For a more intense toasted flavor in the dip, allow marshmallows to brown a little more but watch closely to avoid burning.
- If you prefer a thinner dip, gradually add more heavy cream until desired texture is reached.
- This dip can be warmed gently if it thickens before serving.
- Sea salt enhances the sweetness of the fries and balances the rich dip.
