Yield:
6 servings 
Sweet Potato Fries:

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled or unpeeled, cut into 4-inch long and 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick fries (I used one purple and one red - so pretty & yummy!)
2 tablespoons olive oil, or more as needed (I just poured a little in - enough to coat)
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder (I used chipotle chili powder)
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
Coarse ground rock salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Avocado Dip, recipe follows

Directions

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside. (I did them on my Pampered Chef large stone - no foil - and highly recommend this as some of the reviewers said theirs got soggy on the foil)

Place the sweet potatoes in a large bowl and toss with olive oil until the sweet potatoes are coated. Add the paprika, chili powder, coriander, salt, and pepper; toss to distribute evenly.

Arrange the coated fries in a single layer on the prepared pan. Bake for 20 minutes on the lower rack until the sweet potatoes soften. Transfer the pan to the upper rack of the oven and bake 10 minutes longer, until fries are crispy. Serve with Avocado Dip.
Avocado Dip:

1 avocado, see Cook's Note* (I used 1.5 of the small ones)
1/3 cup mayonnaise (I used organic - may try with Greek yogurt next time)
1/3 cup cream cheese
1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped.
2 scallions, white and light green part only, chopped (I forgot to add these - it was a bit crazy here!)
1 lime, juiced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Place the avocado, mayonnaise, cream cheese, jalapeno, scallions, and lime juice into a blender or small food processor. Blend for 1 minute or until you have a smooth paste. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve as a dip for the Sweet Potato Oven Fries.

* Cook's Note: We find that Hass avocados make the smoothest and best tasting Avocado dip.
