Sweet Potatoes:
- 3 large sweet potatoes or yams, peeled and cut into thin wedges
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup, plus more as needed
- 1 tablespoon garam masala
Spicy Ketchup Dip:
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- Dash cayenne pepper
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large, rimmed baking pan with unbleached parchment paper.
Put the sweet potatoes, maple syrup and 1 tablespoon garam masala into a large bowl and stir with a large spoon to combine. Add an additional tablespoon of maple syrup if the sweet potatoes are still a bit dry. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking pan. Bake for 50 to 70 minutes or until golden brown and slightly crisp.
To make the dip, put the ketchup, 1 teaspoon garam masala and a dash of cayenne pepper into a small bowl. Stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
When the potatoes are cooked, put the pan on a wire rack and let cool for 15 minutes. Arrange the sweet potato bites on a serving platter in a pleasing manner and serve with the dip on the side.
