Baked Sweet Potato Fries with Citrus-Chipotle Aioli

Sweet potatoes are so good for you and so easy to bake with! These are a great snack and the dip is fantastic and flavorful.

Baked Sweet Potato Fries with Citrus-Chipotle Aioli

Ingredients:
-3 medium sweet potatoes, washed but skin on
-1 1/2 tbsp. olive oil
-freshly ground pepper, to taste
-sea salt

Ingredients for aioli:
-1/3 cup tahini
-1/3 cup water
-1/4 cup nutritional yeast
-3 tbsp. lemon juice
-1 clove garlic
-1/2 tsp. olive oil
-3/4 tsp. salt
-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (canned)

Method:
Preheat oven to 400F. Cut potatoes into fry-size slices (about 1/2" width) and put in a bowl with olive oil, pepper and salt and toss with your hands. Spread out on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 10-12 minutes. Then flip them and bake for another 10 minutes (or until desired done-ness). I like mine a little well done.

For aioli, put all ingredients into a blender or food processor and blend extremely well, making sure there are no lumps. You might have to scrape down the sides with a spatula if the tahini sticks.
