1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into thin fries.

3. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

4. Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.

6. While the fries are baking, prepare the spicy aioli by mixing mayonnaise, sriracha, lemon juice, and smoked paprika in a small bowl.

7. Once the fries are done, serve them hot with the spicy aioli on the side for dipping.

Tips:

  • For extra crispiness, soak the cut sweet potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Feel free to adjust the sriracha in the aioli to suit your heat preference.
  • Experiment with other spices like cayenne or chili powder for added flavor.
