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 the Sweet Potatoes: Put the peeled and cut sweet potato sticks into a large bowl. Add olive oil and sea salt. Toss thoroughly to coat each piece completely, ensuring an even seasoning and oil coverage.
- Arrange and Bake Fries: Line one or two baking sheets with tin foil or parchment paper. Spread the sweet potatoes out in a single layer to ensure even cooking. Bake in a preheated oven at 475 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes, adjusting time depending on the thickness of the fries.
- Prepare Marshmallows for Toasting: While the fries are baking, line a cake pan with tin foil. Arrange the marshmallows in a single layer on the pan, ready for toasting alongside the fries.
- Toast Marshmallows: Place the marshmallows in the oven with the sweet potatoes for about 5 minutes. Watch carefully as they puff and begin to toast. For a more pronounced toasted flavor, you can leave them in a bit longer next time.
- Make the Marshmallow Dip: Remove toasted marshmallows and place them in a blender. Add the heavy cream. Since the marshmallows are sticky, scrape off any excess from the pan into the blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add more cream if the dip needs thinning.
- Finish and Serve: Take the fries out of the oven. Check seasoning and add more sea salt if needed. Serve the hot sweet potato fries immediately alongside the creamy toasted marshmallow dip.
Notes
- Cut sweet potatoes into uniform sticks to ensure even baking.
- Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Watch marshmallows closely as they toast quickly and can burn.
- If the dip is too thick, add heavy cream gradually to thin it to desired consistency.
- For a vegan alternative, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use vegan marshmallows.
- Adjust sea salt to taste before serving based on your preference.
