Agave-Lime Sweet Potato Fries

Sweet potato fries sweetened with agave, spiced with smoky chili powder and tinged with a hint of lime. These will not be a crispy fry. Oh, up the chili powder to 1/2 teaspoon if you’re using a dipping sauce. I used French Fry Sauce along with 1/2 teaspoon chili powder and the sauce provided just the right balance of heat and cooling.
