And just like that the weekend is nearly over. But don't worry, there's still time for fries!!! Okay, technically these are baked and they aren’t really your typical fries, but still, same difference right?

So not only are we talking about potatoes, (which alone are enough to make a good majority of carb-lovers pretty darn happy), but I also made some hummus to go with and it takes all of like, 4 minutes and done. You can go as heavy or light on the spice as you want but the recipe is for a hummus at a pretty happy medium.
Also, if you’re wondering about the sweet potatoes, or “yams” that I used, they are a specific variety from my grocery store. You can honestly use any type of potato or sweet potato in this recipe for the same results.

Feel free to use whatever color sweet potatoes you like for this. Or regular potatoes, as they work the same. Bottom line is that these are one of the best snacks or sides ever. But really, who says we can’t just eat french fries for dinner yo? You certainly won’t hear that from me. Oh, and leftovers happen sometimes so don’t think these are a lost cause. Just because everyone knows microwaved fries are a major no-no if you don’t particularly like the taste of cardboard, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t save them. No, these are easily brought back to life with just a few minutes on broil in your oven or toaster oven. Or, if you’re a weirdo like me and you like cold potatoes, you can easily chop them up and throw them on a salad cuz that’s a win.

Homemade Yam Fries + Spicy Bean Dip
Baking fries is a healthy and easy way to enjoy them at home. These sweet fries compliment the garlic hummus perfectly!
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes
Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
Yam Fries:
3-4 large yams or sweet potatoes washed
1 tablespoon olive oil (Optional: I usually leave it out)
salt and pepper to taste
Sriracha Hummus:
1 1/2 cups cooked garbanzo beans rinsed
1 tablespoon tahini
2 cloves garlic peeled
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons sriracha
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Fries:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 C) and line a baking tray with foil.
Chop potatoes into matchsticks and toss with olive oil and seasoning in a large bowl and spread out in an even layer on tray and bake for 15 minutes. Then remove from oven and toss a little bit then return to oven and bake for 15 to 25 more minutes until crispy. I like to start checking them at about 10 minutes to make sure there are none getting burned. Remove from oven and season with more salt and pepper to taste.
Hummus:
Combine all the ingredients for hummus in a small food processor or blender and pulse until smooth.
