Baked Sweet Potato Fries + Garlic Marinara Aioli

Ingredients

For the Fries:
1-2 large sweet potatoes
1 egg white
0.5 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp flour
a pinch of chili powder
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
Curley parsley

For the Aioli:

0.3 cups light mayo
2 tbsp marinara sauce
1 tsp dried chilli flakes
minced garlic as necessary

Preheat the oven to 160C

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them in half, then quarters. Chop them into fries- not too big. They should be about 1cm thick. Depending on how hard the potatoes are, you may find using a small meat clever useful.

Wilde Oscar says: Using the cleaver also helps if you've got a little left over frustration from outside the kitchen to work out. But watch your fingers.

Soak the fries in warm water for about 5-10 mins, then drain and pat dry.

Seperately whisk the egg white, add the flour and garlic and drizzle over the fries in a dry bowl. Mix well. Add the olive oil and salt and pepper and again, mix the fries around so they're equally coated. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray, and space the fries out so they're not touching. Sprinkle a bit of chili powder on the fries, and throw them in the oven.

Wilde Oscar says: A sprinkle of dried basil isn't too bad either, if you feel up to it.

Let the oven do it's thing for about 20mins, then pull out the fries, flip, and stick them back in for another 10 mins or so until cooked. When they're done, garnish with fresh chopped parlsey. Add salt if necessary.

Meanwhile, to prepare the aioli:

Mix the marinara sauce with the crushed chili flakes and mix in with the mayo. Add garlic as necessary. Place in the fridge to chill.
