Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Scrub sweet potatoes or peel off the skin, if you desire (I like to leave it on). Cut sweet potatoes into approx. 1/4-inch matchsticks. Put sweet potatoes into a large bowl and sprinkle the cornstarch over the top. Toss with your clean hands until all of the fries are coated. Drizzle with olive oil and toss again. Add maple syrup or brown sugar, chili powder, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and salt. Toss until all of the fries are coated.
- Lay fries on a baking sheet, making sure there is a little space around each fry - don't crowd or pile them! Depending on the size of your baking sheet, you may need to use two (I do).
- Place in oven and bake until golden brown and many are crisp, about 25 minutes, turning carefully at right around the 15 minute mark. Remove fries from oven and let cool a bit.
- While the fries are baking, make your ranch dip. In a small bowl, stir together all of the dip ingredients. Taste and add more salt and pepper if desired.
- Add more salt to the fries if you like. Serve warm with the ranch dip.

Steps:
- Make the dip
- In a small bowl, blend together the yogurt, garlic, dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld.
- Make the zucchini fries
- Heat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Prepare your ingredients: Place flour in a large Ziploc bag. Crack eggs into a shallow dish and whisk along with 2 tablespoons water. Mix Panko breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper in a shallow dish.
- Add zucchini to the Ziploc bag with flour and shake gently until all pieces are covered.
- Working with three or four sticks at a time, dip the zucchini sticks in the egg mixture then place in the Panko mixture, turning to coat. Gently lay on the baking sheet. Repeat, mixing the Panko breadcrumbs often to keep spices distributed, until all pieces are coated.
- Evenly drizzle olive oil on top of fries.
- Bake for 15 - 20 minutes until all sides are golden brown.
- Serve immediately with dip.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For the best fries, select sweet potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes. Avoid potatoes that are soft or have sprouted.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: To ensure that the fries cook evenly, cut them into uniform sizes. Aim for fries that are about 1/2-inch thick and 3-4 inches long.
- Soak the potatoes in water: This step helps to remove excess starch from the potatoes, resulting in crispier fries. Soak the potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a healthy and flavorful choice for baking sweet potato fries. Make sure to use extra virgin olive oil for the best results.
- Season the fries well: Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
- Bake the fries at a high temperature: This will help to create crispy fries. Bake the fries at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve the fries with a dipping sauce: This is a great way to add extra flavor and creaminess to the fries. Some popular dipping sauces include ranch dressing, ketchup, and honey mustard.

Spicy baked sweet potato fries with cool Greek yogurt ranch is a delicious and healthy snack or side dish.
