Baked “fries” make a really satisfying snack or side. Tangy lowfat Greek yogurt stands in for sour cream in this cool and spicy sauce. It’s a tasty accompaniment to the sweet potatoes, but it’s also great for topping a baked potato or as a dip for veggies or baked tortilla chips. Remember to figure any “dippers” into your meal plan. (Be sure to talk to your diabetes healthcare team if you are considering making a change to your meal plan.)

Ingredients

SWEET POTATOES

  • 2 large sweet potatoes (1 pound)
  • 2 teaspoons canola oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

SAUCE

  • 3/4 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon grated lime zest
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/2 – 1 teaspoon minced canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Pinch of salt

Directions

  1. To make the sweet potatoes, preheat the oven to 400ºF. Spray a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. Peel the sweet potatoes and halve them lengthwise. Cut each half lengthwise into four wedges. Place the wedges in a large bowl; drizzle with the oil, sprinkle with the chili powder and salt, and toss to coat evenly.
  3. Place the wedges cut side down in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake until the bottoms are browned, about 18 to 20 minutes. Turn the wedges to the opposite cut sides and bake until browned, about 8 minutes longer.
  4. Meanwhile, to make the sauce, stir together the yogurt, lime zest and juice, chipotle, honey, cumin, and salt in a small bowl. Serve the “fries” with the sauce.
