Baked Sweet Potato Fries With Chipotle Ranch Dressing

• For the chipotle ranch dressing
• 3/4 cup mayonnaise (low fat is fine)
• 3/4 cup sour cream (low fat is fine or replace half with Greek yogurt)
• 2 -3 chipotle peppers (canned with 1 tbsp sauce)
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 bunch chives
• 1 handful cilantro
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 c- 1/2 c buttermilk (optional)
• 3 -4 tablespoons coconut oil (any oil)
• For the sweet potato fries
• 1 lb sweet potato (2 medium, no longer than 5 or 6 inches long)
• 1 teaspoon dried ancho chile powder
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 dash cinnamon
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch pepper

1. To make dressing: Place all ingredients except the buttermilk in the blender. Blend for 10 seconds. Check consistency and blend in buttermilk (less buttermilk for dipping, more for dressing). Store in an air-tight jar in the fridge for a week or more.
2. To make the fries: Coat a baking sheet with 3 tablespoons of oil, adding the last tablespoon if necessary.
3. Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into 1/4 inch sticks (no longer than 5 inches long).
4. In a large zipper bag mix the dry spices together. (I skipped the zipper bag and mixed everything in a large bowl). Add the sweet potato fries and shake the fries to coat evenly (I added a tad bit of oil to the fries in the bowl and the spices stuck nicely).
5. Carefully put the fries onto the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
6. Turn on the broiler for the last 1 to 2 minutes, just until the tips of the fries begin to turn black. Don't walk away--they can burn in no time.
7. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate in a single layer until ready to serve. (I also skipped the paper towel because they weren't greasy and I thought it was unnecessary. Plus they disappeared so fast that was a pointless step in my opinion.).
