  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or ½ teaspoon dried

  • ½ teaspoon lemon pepper or black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 23 tablespoons almond milk, buttermilk, or water (to thin dip)
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into fries

  • 1½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1½ teaspoons garlic powder
  • ¼ to ½ teaspoon Hungarian paprika or cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
  • Sea salt, for garnish
  • Chopped parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C) and lightly grease one or two baking sheets.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, lemon pepper, parsley, dill, and chives. Thin with almond milk, buttermilk, or water as needed. Chill in fridge.
  3. Toss sweet potato fries in olive oil. Add cornstarch and toss again until evenly coated.
  4. Add Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika or cayenne, and seasoning salt. Toss to coat.
  5. Arrange fries in a single layer on the baking sheet(s), ensuring they don’t touch.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes, flip fries, then bake another 15 minutes until golden and crispy.
  7. Remove from oven, sprinkle with sea salt, and garnish with chopped parsley.
  8. Serve hot with chilled Greek yogurt ranch dip.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, broil fries for 1–2 minutes at the end.
  • Use smoked paprika for a deeper flavor or increase cayenne for more heat.
  • Vegan option: use plant-based yogurt and mayo.
  • Substitute cornstarch with arrowroot or potato starch if needed.
  • Also great cooked in an air fryer at 400°F for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway.
