Loaded Sweet Potato Fries with Smoky Chipotle Lime Crema

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil, cornstarch, smoked paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the fries in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
Step 2: Make the Chipotle Lime Crema
In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream (or Greek yogurt), chopped chipotle pepper, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt.
Add water if needed to reach a drizzle consistency. Set aside.
Step 3: Assemble the Loaded Fries
Remove the crispy sweet potato fries from the oven and immediately sprinkle with shredded cheese so it melts slightly.
Top with black beans, crumbled bacon (if using), diced avocado, and red onion.
Drizzle generously with the smoky chipotle lime crema.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Serve the fries immediately while warm. Enjoy as a fun appetizer or a satisfying side dish!
