For years now I’ve been a fan of giving homemade or purchased spice blends as a holiday gift. And most people get far too many sweets at this time of year and my spice mixes have definitely been a hit with my family and friends.
And one of the spice blends where people have often requested the recipe is this Sweet Potato Fries Seasoning. This will be a hit with everyone who enjoys slightly-spicy Sweet Potato Fries, and I’ve used it on CrockPot Sweet Potatoes too. This post has instructions for making enough to give as a gift or see NOTES in the complete recipe to see small amounts to just make it for yourself!
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.)
- 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 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 for you.
