Sweet Potato Fries Seasoning Mix is one of the spice blends I’ve made often during the holidays. For years now I’ve been a fan of giving homemade or purchased spice blends as a holiday gift. And most people get tired of sweets at this time of year, and my spice mixes have definitely been a hit.

This Sweet Potato Fries Seasoning is a perfect blend of spices that will be a hit with everyone who enjoys slightly-spicy Sweet Potato Fries! And for years now I’ve also been using it on sweet potatoes when I cook them in the CrockPot.

This post has amounts and instructions for a large batch of Sweet Potato Fries Seasoning if you’re making it to give away as a gift. If you want smaller amounts to just make a batch of the seasoning mix for yourself, see NOTES right below the complete recipe. I hope you enjoy trying it!

What ingredients do you need?

(This is only a list of ingredients; please scroll down for complete printable recipe. Or if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the complete recipe with ingredient amounts.)

• ground coriander (affiliate link)
• ground fennel (affiliate link)
• Dried Oregano (affiliate link); use Greek Oregano (affiliate link) or Turkish oregano, but not Mexican oregano for this.
• Aleppo Pepper (affiliate link) (or use a smaller amount of cayenne pepper)
• Kosher Salt (affiliate link)

Can you make Sweet Potato Fries Seasoning Mix without Aleppo Pepper?

I highly recommend Aleppo Pepper for this recipe, but if you don’t have it you can substitute other hot pepper flakes. Aleppo Pepper is only slightly spicy so if you’re substituting a different red pepper flake I would start with a much smaller amount and taste until it seems spicy enough.
