Curly Sweet Potato Fries
I love potatoes. The first recipe I tried was curly sweet potato fries - a delicious and nutritious snack that's easy to make. While you may associate curly fries with greasy fast food, these fries are baked, not fried, and seasoned with mouthwatering spices like paprika and garlic powder.
The spiralizer attachment made it simple to create beautiful, spiral-shaped fries that were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. These curly sweet potato fries are perfect for satisfying cravings without guilt.
Baked Versus Fried Curly Fries
If you're a fan of sweet potato fries, you'll want to try these spiralized sweet potato fries that are baked to perfection and sprinkled with a blend of savory spices. And if you're worried that baked fries aren't as crispy as deep-fried ones, don't fret! While they may not be as crispy, they are still flavorful and packed with nutrients that deep-fried fries can't offer.
To make these curly fries, I used KitchenAid's spiralizer attachment, which is perfect if you own a stand mixer. It made the process of spiralizing the sweet potatoes a breeze. After baking the fries, they may soften slightly due to the natural moisture of the sweet potatoes. But trust me, the flavor is so good that you won't even notice the lack of crispiness.
To take these fries to the next level, I paired them with a homemade garlic aioli that only takes two minutes to make. This garlicky mayo adds a delicious tangy flavor that complements the spices on the fries perfectly. Plus, the aioli recipe is so simple that you can easily customize it with your favorite herbs or spices.
