Description
Crispy oven-baked sweet potato fries served with a rich and creamy toasted marshmallow dip. This sweet and savory side dish combines the natural sweetness of perfectly roasted sweet potatoes with a unique, indulgent marshmallow dipping sauce that’s toasted to perfection for a slightly caramelized flavor.
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 (about 7 oz)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes. Put the sweet potato wedges into a large bowl. Add olive oil and sea salt. Toss everything together to coat the fries evenly.
- Arrange and Bake Sweet Potatoes. Line one or two baking sheets with tin foil or parchment paper. Lay the coated sweet potatoes out in a single layer. Bake in a preheated oven at 475 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes, turning halfway if needed, depending on the thickness of the fries.
- Toast Marshmallows. While the fries bake, line a cake pan with tin foil and arrange the marshmallows in a single layer. Place the pan in the oven alongside the sweet potatoes and cook for about 5 minutes or until the marshmallows are puffed and toasted to your preferred level.
- Blend the Dip. Transfer the toasted marshmallows and heavy cream into a blender. The marshmallows will be sticky—scrape off as much as possible. Blend until smooth, adding a bit more heavy cream if the dip is too thick.
- Serve. Remove sweet potato fries from the oven, check seasoning, and add more sea salt if needed. Serve hot alongside the toasted marshmallow dip for dipping.
Notes
- To get crispier fries, soak the cut sweet potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before baking and dry thoroughly.
- If you prefer a thinner dip, gradually add more heavy cream while blending until desired consistency is reached.
- For a vegan version, substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk and marshmallows with vegan marshmallows.
- Use parchment paper instead of foil for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Keep an eye on the marshmallows while toasting to avoid burning; they can brown quickly.
