These crispy, flavorful Chipotle Lime Sweet Potato Fries are the perfect balance of smoky, spicy, and tangy, the perfect addition to your recteq main course.

Instructions

Step 1: Over stovetop, bring 8 cups of water to a boil in a large pot.
Step 2: Cut peeled sweet potatoes into fry-like shapes.
Step 3: Once boiling add prepped sweet potatoes and blanch for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Step 4: Remove sweet potatoes and allow to dry on drying rack.
Step 5: Burning the Apple Pellets, preheat recteq to 400°F.
Step 6: In a large bowl, add adobo sauce, lime juice, chopped cilantro, Adam’s Southern Citrus Honey, and 1 tablespoon Ron's Screamin' Pig Rub. Whisk together and set aside.
Step 7: In another bowl, gently add sweet potatoes and toss in olive oil. Season with 1 tablespoon Ron's Screamin' Pig Rub and place evenly on Mesh Cooking Mat. Don’t overcrowd—they need space to crisp!
Step 8: Add to recteq and roast for 20-30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Look for charred edges and soft, fluffy centers. Grill time can vary slightly depending on how thick your fries are, but they should have a nice golden crisp when done.
