Ingredients
Fries
- 3 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Toppings
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 1/2 cup diced cucumber
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
Yogurt Sauce
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Set your oven to 220°C (425°F) to prepare for baking the fries.
- Cut sweet potatoes: Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into fries of even thickness for uniform cooking.
- Toss fries: In a large bowl, combine sweet potato fries with olive oil, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper, ensuring each fry is well-coated.
- Bake fries: Arrange the fries in a single layer on a baking tray. Bake for 25–30 minutes until the fries are crispy and golden, flipping halfway through if desired.
- Prepare yogurt sauce: In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt with lemon juice until smooth and tangy.
- Top fries: Once fries are out of the oven, immediately sprinkle with crumbled feta, black olives, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and finely chopped red onion.
- Drizzle sauce: Generously drizzle the prepared yogurt sauce over the loaded fries and serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavors.
Notes
- For crispy fries, make sure to bake them in a single layer without overcrowding the tray.
- Add grilled chicken on top to turn this into a heartier, protein-rich meal.
- Serve immediately after assembling to maintain fry crispiness and freshness of toppings.
