These oven roasted sweet potato fries with lemon herb tahini dipping sauce is the perfect combination of sweet and savory. This is a fun twist on the classic french fry and ketchup combination that you won’t be able to resist.
Is there any better combination than french fries and a dipping sauce?! I think not.
Whether you’re a classic french fries and ketchup kind of person or you prefer to dip your potatoes in ranch or barbecue sauce, we can all agree that there is just something special about the whole french fry and dipping sauce combination.
This recipe is a twist on everyone’s favorite combination and it’s so good. So good.
If you’re a lover of sweet potato fries, then you’ll love this easy and healthy method of preparing them. There’s no deep frying involved here my friend. Just a little bit of olive or avocado oil and a hot oven.
These sweet potato fries and the dipping sauce are also Paleo, Whole30 compliant, gluten-free, and the perfect appetizer or side dish to go along with your meal.
Sweet potatoes don’t contain the same starch level as regular spuds, so they don’t get as crispy as fries that are made from traditional russet potatoes. Despite that, these sweet potato fries are still absolutely delicious and cooking them on a baking rack helps to get them a little more crispy without a ton of oil.
These oven roasted sweet potato fries are delicious, but the icing on the cake is the lemon herb tahini dipping sauce that goes along with them.
This tahini sauce is garlicky, full of fresh herbs, and the perfect pairing for the sweetness of the fries. Lemon herb tahini may seem like an unconventional pairing that you might not expect, but just trust me on this one. It’s so good.
Plus, the dipping sauce also doubles as the perfect salad dressing or as a dip for veggies, chicken, or beef. Feel free to drizzle it over your favorite salads or roasted veggies for even more flavor.

This is officially my go to website when I am wondering how to make anything! I paired these with your turkey sloppy joes and it was so good! Thank you
Agree that the tahini sauce should be drizzled on just about everything, it’s so delicious! I subbed scallions for chives, only used one garlic clove, and put all the ingredients for the sauce together in a little cup blender. Like you said, the fries do not get as crispy as regular potatoes but a couple of minutes on broil at the end helped mine get crispy ends and a some extra browning. Thanks for the recipe!
So happy you loved the recipe, Katy! and broiling at the end is such a great idea. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review!
