Sweet Potato Sticks with Creamy Chipotle Dipping Sauce
Light on the fat and heavy on the fiber, we use sweet potatoes for our cleaned-up French fries. The best part? A creamy, smoky chipotle sauce for dipping!

Serves: 4 Makes: about 2 1/2 cups sticks and 1/2 cup sauce Hands-on time: 12 minutes Total time: 37 minutes CATEGORY: Under 45 Minutes, Vegetarian
INGREDIENTS:
STICKS
2 8-oz sweet potatoes, peeled
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp dried oregano leaves, crumbled
1 tbsp safflower oil
1/8 tsp sea salt
DIPPING SAUCE
1 to 2 tsp adobo sauce
1/3 cup light sour cream
2 tbsp skim milk
1/2 clove garlic, minced
INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare sticks: Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut each potato in half crosswise. Cut each half into 1/2-inch slices, then cut slices into 1/2-inch strips (to resemble French fries). Place potatoes in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, combine paprika, cumin and oregano. Drizzle oil over potatoes. Using a silicone spatula, toss potatoes gently yet thoroughly to coat. Sprinkle paprika mixture evenly over potatoes and toss gently.
Arrange potatoes in a thin layer on a large, foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until tender and golden brown.
Meanwhile, prepare dipping sauce: In a separate small bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients and refrigerate until serving.
Remove potatoes from oven, sprinkle evenly with salt and serve with dipping sauce.
