Notes

  • Even Cooking: Make sure to cut the sweet potatoes into evenly sized fries to ensure they cook uniformly.
  • Crispier Fries: For extra crispy fries, consider flipping them halfway through the baking time.
  • Sauce Variations: You can adjust the sweetness or spice level of the dipping sauce by adding more or less brown sugar and cinnamon to taste.
