Vegan Sweet Potato Fries with Spicy Mayo
Golden roasted sweet potato fries paired with a bold, plant-based spicy mayo that slaps harder than your favorite hot sauce.
Ingredients
For the Fries:
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 1.5 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch for extra crispiness
For the Spicy Vegan Mayo:
- 1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
- 1.5 tablespoons hot sauce like sriracha
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F, because sweet potatoes deserve a hot stage.
- Wash, peel, and slice sweet potatoes into fries—medium thickness, not pencil thin or potato wedges in denial.
- In a large bowl, toss fries with olive oil, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Spread fries on a parchment-lined baking sheet—space them like introverts at a party.
- Bake for 15 minutes, flip like a pro, and roast another 10 minutes until golden and slightly crispy.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix vegan mayo, hot sauce, lemon juice, garlic powder, and salt.
- Whisk until smooth, spicy, and ready to judge bland dips.
- Serve fries hot with the spicy mayo on the side—or drizzle it like a rebel.

Any Additional Notes/Tips to Enhance the Flavor for the Recipe
- Soak sweet potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes pre-baking for next-level crisp.
- Add a dash of cayenne if you want your mayo to whisper threats.
- Use Japanese sweet potatoes for a slightly sweeter, nuttier fry experience.
- Don’t crowd the baking sheet—these fries need space to glow.
- Garnish with chopped parsley or chives if you're into unnecessary but gorgeous flair.
