Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed
- 1/2 cup corn
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/4 cup vegan mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon chipotle sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Wash sweet potatoes thoroughly and cut them into uniform, thin fry-shaped strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Aim for consistent size to ensure even cooking.
- Place sweet potato fries in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle paprika, tossing to ensure even coating. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Spread the seasoned sweet potato fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This allows them to crisp up properly.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through cooking to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- While fries are baking, prepare the toppings. Rinse black beans and drain corn. Dice the avocado into small, uniform cubes.
- For the vegan chipotle sauce, mix vegan mayonnaise with chipotle sauce in a small bowl. Adjust spiciness by adding more or less chipotle sauce.
- Once fries are golden and crisp, remove from oven. Immediately top with black beans, corn, and diced avocado.
- Drizzle the prepared vegan chipotle sauce over the loaded fries. Serve hot and enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Tips
- Cut Evenly: To ensure your sweet potato fries cook evenly, aim for uniform thickness when cutting them into strips. About 1/4 inch is ideal for achieving that perfect crispiness.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: When spreading the fries on the baking sheet, make sure they are in a single layer and not overcrowded. This allows hot air to circulate around them, helping them to crisp up beautifully.
- Flip for Even Cooking: Halfway through the cooking time, flip the fries to ensure they brown evenly on both sides. This simple step makes a big difference in achieving that golden, crispy texture.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with the toppings! Add sliced jalapeños for an extra kick, or sprinkle some nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor without the dairy.
- Adjust the Sauce to Your Taste: The chipotle sauce can be adjusted to your preferred spice level. Start with a small amount and gradually add more until you find the perfect balance for your palate.
- Serve Immediately: For the best texture and flavor, serve your loaded fries right after drizzling with the vegan chipotle sauce. They’re best enjoyed hot and fresh!
