Sweet Potato Fries w/ Spicy Cashew Sauce
Ahh french fries, the ultimate frenemy. When I was a bartender, french fries always saved my life from a major hunger meltdown, but immediately followed with that guilt of wait, did I really eat that many fries?
They’re the perfect snack, hangover cure and hit all the cravings! Sweet potato baked fries are a perfect substitution and craving fix for those moments you really need some fries in your life! These are simple and have been my staple for years. Replacing the white potato with the sweet adds a supercharge of antioxidants, beta carotene, magnesium and vitamin C. Can your regular fries do all that? Not so much.
To top it off, I dunk these in the spicy cashew sauce with the cashew cream as a base. This is a great example how one “base sauce” can be used in many different recipes. SO much deliciousness its almost too much to handle!
Pair with your favorite plant based burger or serve these for happy hour at your house with friends.
