  • cheddar or mozzarella cheese or any cheese you wish

  • avocado

Instructions

For the fries

  • Preheat oven to 220C (425F).
  • Chop each end off the sweet potatoes. Chop into even sized fries, about ¼ inch. If you have time, soak the fries in cold water for 30 minutes, drain and dry with paper towels.
    500 g sweet potatoes
  • Toss the dried fries in 1 tablespoon olive oil and coat evenly by rubbing them. Sprinkle in the cornstarch, onion powder, garlic powder oregano salt and pepper and rub together well.
    1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon oregano, ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • Spread out on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway, until tender and crispy.

For the beans

  • Heat a teaspoon of oil in a small saucepan. Add the sliced shallot and a pinch of salt and fry gently under soft, about 4-5 minutes. Add the spices and stir to combine.
    1 teaspoon olive oil, 1 large shallot, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon oregano, ¼ teaspoon cumin, ¼ teaspoon chipotle chilli flakes
  • Pour in the beans and stir to coat in the spices. Add the tomato sauce (passata), ketchup, maple syrup, molasses, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt and pepper and stir well to combine. Cook over a medium heat for 5 minutes until the sauce has reduced a little and all of the flavours have melded.
    1 14 ounce can pinto beans, 1 cup passata, 1 tablespoon tomato ketchup, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, ½ teaspoon molasses, 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar, 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce, ¼ teaspoon dijon mustard, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • Serve the sweet potato fries topped with the beans and whatever toppings you fancy.
    cheddar or mozzarella cheese, green onions, avocado, fried eggs, coriander, pickled jalapeño slices

Notes

  • Soak the sweet potato fries in cold water for 30 minutes and drain off the starchy water. But ensure they are fully dry before coating with oil and the other ingredients.
  • These fries are best served immediately. 
  • The nutrition does not include additional toppings to serve (cheese etc).
