Baked Sweet Potato Fries With Spinach Dip

Ingredients

• 1 8-inch (20.3 cm) long sweet potato
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 cups (56g) fresh spinach
• 1/2 cup (30g) parsley leaves
• 1 clove garlic, peeled
• 1 ounce (28g) chèvre cheese
• 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 cup (240ml) 0% plain Greek yogurt

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Slice the sweet potato in 1/2-inch wide, french fry-style strips. Place on a sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil, tossing to coat. Sprinkle paprika on top and toss again.

2. Roast for 20 minutes or until tender when pierced with a paring knife. Let cool slightly before serving.

3. In the bowl of a food processor, combine spinach, parsley and garlic, and process to mince. Scrape down the sides and add the chevre cheese and lemon juice; process until smooth. Scrape again, then add the yogurt and process one last time.
​
4. Scrape the spinach mixture into a 2-cup (500ml) bowl or storage tub and refrigerate, covered, until time to serve.
