Fries Ingredients
- Purple Sweet Potatoes: Several large sweet potatoes will do.
- Spices: nutritional yeast, parsley, garlic powder, salt, hot pepper flakes.
- Lemon Juice: Lemon juice adds some acidity, and also helps the spices stick to the potatoes, since we aren't using any oil. You could sub apple cider vinegar.
Aioli Ingredients
- Walnuts: Many vegan aioli recipes use cashews, but I used walnuts, which offer a distinct nutritional profile and a richer flavor. If you want, you and use cashews instead.
- Garlic: To create the classic aioli flavor.
- Turmeric: I used turmeric spice, but you could use fresh turmeric if you have it on hand
- Non-Dairy Milk: use any non-dairy milk you have. I like oat milk.
- Salt
