Symbiote-Stuffed Sweet Potato Fries with Venomous Aioli
Inspired by the dual nature of our favorite web-slinger, these sweet potato fries are a crispy, sweet-and-savory delight, elevated by a rich, dark aioli that hints at a powerful, transformative flavor. A playful, yet sophisticated appetizer or side dish.
Directions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- 2
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato sticks with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- 3
Arrange the seasoned sweet potato fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even crisping.
- 4
Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are tender on the inside and nicely caramelized and crispy on the outside.
- 5
While the fries are roasting, prepare the venomous aioli. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, black tahini, and Worcestershire sauce.
- 6
Whisk the aioli until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the color is a uniform dark gray to black. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
- 7
Once the sweet potato fries are cooked, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter.
- 8
Serve the crispy sweet potato fries immediately with the prepared venomous aioli on the side for dipping. Enjoy the powerful flavor combination!
