TIPS FOR SPICY HONEY-GLAZED SWEET POTATO FRIES
- For extra crispiness, let the coated fries sit for 5 minutes before baking to allow the cornstarch to create a crispy outer layer.
- Serve with a side of creamy dipping sauce like ranch or spicy ketchup to complement the sweet and tangy flavour profile.
VARIATIONS
- Add a sprinkle of parmesan cheese or a dash of lime zest after baking for an additional flavour twist.
- For a smoky version, include a pinch of smoked paprika in the spice mix.
