Sweet Potato Fries with Acai Chili Sauce Recipe
This recipe makes more Acai Chili Sauce then you’ll need for the fries, but its spicy-sweet-smoky flavor makes for a superb condiment to have lying around. Store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks and use it as a dip, toss with cooked vegetables or enjoy as a spread.
INGREDIENTS2 Tbsp. olive oil, divided 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into ½-inch fries Sea salt and ground black pepper 4 large Medjool dates, pitted 1 chipotle chili in adobo sauce + 2 Tbsp. adobo sauce 2 Tbsp. tomato paste 1 tsp. onion powder 2 Tbsp. Navitas Organics Acai Powder 3/4 cup pineapple juice 2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice |
DIRECTIONSPreheat oven to 400° F. Divide the fries onto two baking sheets and drizzle each pan with one Tbsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, toss the fries well and spread into a flat layer. Roast for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through cooking or until fries are golden-brown and crispy on the outside.

Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
- 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into ½-inch fries
- Sea salt and ground black pepper
- 4 large Medjool dates, pitted
- 1 chipotle chili in adobo sauce + 2 Tbsp. adobo sauce
- 2 Tbsp. tomato paste
- 1 tsp. onion powder
-
2 Tbsp. Navitas Organics Acai Powder
¾ cup pineapple juice
- 2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400° F. Divide the fries onto two baking sheets and drizzle each pan with one Tbsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, toss the fries well and spread into a flat layer. Roast for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through cooking or until fries are golden-brown and crispy on the outside.
- Meanwhile, soak the dates in hot water for 10 minutes to soften. Drain, then add to a blender along with the chipotle chili, adobo sauce, tomato paste, onion powder, acai powder, pineapple juice, lime juice, and ½ tsp salt. Blend until completely smooth, adding water to thin, if needed.
Serve the fries with a side of the Acai Chili Sauce for dipping and top with lime juice, fresh cilantro and cashew chevre.
