Ingredients
4 medium sweet potatoes, washed
Cooking spray
1 tbsp spices of choice (cinnamon, nutmeg, smoked paprika, cumin, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, etc.)
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
2 tbsp lemon juice (~1 lemon juiced)
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp garlic, minced
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place each sweet potato between two chopsticks and slice thin cuts across, stopping at the chopsticks so you don’t cut all the way through.
- Repeat with all potatoes and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Spray potatoes with cooking spray and sprinkle with chosen spices.
- Bake for 45–55 minutes, until tender with crispy edges.
- Meanwhile, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, maple syrup, garlic, and smoked paprika to make the aioli.
- Serve hot sweet potatoes with aioli on the side or drizzled over top.
Notes
Chopsticks or wooden spoons help prevent cutting through the potato.
Russet or Yukon gold potatoes can be used instead of sweet potatoes.
Leave the skin on for crispiness and nutrients.
Air fry at 375°F for 25–30 minutes for a faster version.
Use vegan mayo and coconut yogurt for a dairy-free aioli.
