For the Avocado Lime Aioli:

1 garlic clove, minced

Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Fries

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss with Seasoning: In a large bowl, mix sweet potato and beet fries with olive oil, salt, and pepper, tossing to coat evenly.
Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Spread the fries in a single layer, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded for even crisping.

Step 2: Bake the Fries

Bake: Place the fries in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even crispiness.
Finish with Seasoning: Once done, sprinkle flaky sea salt and smoked paprika over the fries for an extra burst of flavor.

Step 3: Make the Avocado Lime Aioli

Blend the Ingredients: In a food processor, combine ripe avocado, lime juice, minced garlic, and salt.
Adjust Consistency: If too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy!

Serve the Fries Hot: Arrange the crispy fries on a serving plate.
Pair with the Aioli: Serve with the Avocado Lime Aioli as a dipping sauce.
Enjoy a Crunchy, Creamy, and Flavorful Treat!

Cooking Notes

Crispier Fries Tip: Toss the fries with 1 tablespoon cornstarch before adding oil for extra crispiness.
For Even Cooking: Cut the fries uniformly so they cook evenly.
Air Fryer Method: Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 18-20 minutes, shaking halfway through.

Serving Suggestions

Pair with Grilled Protein: These fries complement grilled chicken, steak, or tofu.
Add Extra Dips: Serve with garlic aioli, spicy mayo, or tahini sauce for variety.
Make it a Meal: Add a side salad or grain bowl for a balanced plate.

Tips

Use Fresh Beets: Avoid pre-cooked beets, as they may not crisp up properly.
Keep the Oven Hot: Ensure the oven stays at 425°F for optimal crisping.
Storage & Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven at 400°F for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness.
