Baked sweet potato fries with raw truffle aioli
"Truffle flavor is a way to fancify just about anything, but if you're not a fan, try adding you favorite herb or spice."
I’m a sweet potato & truffle fanatic... Of course truffle oil which is used in this recipe isn't even close to the real thing but pretty delicious anyway. I know that all chef's and food critics around the world pretty much have one thing in common, hating truffle oil! Haha! By all means, I do prefer real truffles rather than the synthetic (yikes!) oil but the oil is wildly more affordable than the truffles themselves and luckily you'll need no more than a few drops to get the hint of that delicious truffle flavor.
I posted a super duper awesome vegan burger recipe a few weeks back and promised you to share the sweet potato fries in another post, so here you have it!
Baked sweet potato fries recipe
- 2-3 sweet potatoes
- 1 tsp olive oil
- pinch salt
- Rinse the sweet potatoes. Cut each potato lengthwise into 4 or 5 pieces, then cut each piece into sticks.
- Toss the sweet potatoes in a large bowl with just enough oil to coat. Sprinkle with salt.
- Spread sweet potatoes in single layer on prepared baking sheet, being sure not to overcrowd.
- Bake in the oven on 390°F until the sweet potatoes are tender and golden brown, turning occasionally, for about 20 minutes.
- 2-3 sötpotatisar
- 1 tsk olivolja
- en nypa salt
- Skölj av sötpotatisarna. Skär dem på längden till pommes frites.
- Ha i dem i en stor skål med bara tillräckligt med olja för att täcka pommes friten. Strö över salt.
- Sprid ut sötpotatis i ett lager på bakplåten, va noga med att inte lägga dem på varandra.
- Grädda i ugnen på 200°C tills sötpotatisarna är mjuka och gyllenbruna, rör runt under tiden, cirka 20 minuter.
