Ingredients

  • 3 sweet potatoes (medium size)
  • 1/3 cup avocado oil
  • 1 tbsp thyme fresh
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground pepper
  • 1/4 tsp chili flakes
  • 1/2 cup vegan ranch dip (optional for serving)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450F/230C. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Slice the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise and then cut into quarters. Slice each quarter into wedges, about 1/2 inch thick at the ends. Place in a large mixing bowl.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the oil, thyme, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper and chili flakes. Pour over the wedges and toss to combine.
  • Arrange the sweet potatoes onto the baking sheets, ensuring there is adequate space between each, and they are not over-crowded. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Then flip the wedges on the baking sheet to roast the other side for an additional 15 minutes, or until crispy and golden.
  • Prepare the ranch dip: In a small bowl, combine the coconut yogurt, apple cider vinegar, dill, onion powder, sea salt, paprika and pepper. Mix to combine.
  • Transfer the sweet potatoes to a bowl and serve along with the ranch for dipping.

Notes

These sweet potatoes are best served fresh out of the oven. 
Vegan ranch can be prepared 1 to 2 days in advance. Stash in the fridge in an air-tight container.
