A comforting and easy recipe combining crispy roasted sweet potato fries with smoky pulled pork, melted cheddar, and tangy BBQ drizzle. Perfect for casual gatherings and quick weeknight meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch thick fries
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cooked and shredded pulled pork
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • Optional: thinly sliced jalapeños
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt for drizzling or dolloping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Peel and cut sweet potatoes into 1/4-inch thick fries. Toss them in a large bowl with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  3. Arrange fries in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, avoiding crowding.
  4. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until fries are golden with slightly crisp edges but still soft inside.
  5. While fries roast, combine pulled pork with BBQ sauce in a bowl and warm in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or on the stovetop.
  6. Remove fries from oven and sprinkle shredded cheddar evenly over them. Return to oven for 3-5 minutes until cheese melts and bubbles.
  7. Spread the saucy pulled pork evenly over the cheesy fries.
  8. Top with sliced green onions and jalapeños if using. Add dollops or drizzle of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
  9. Serve immediately for best crispness and flavor.

Notes

For extra crispy fries, broil for 1-2 minutes after adding cheese but watch carefully to avoid burning. Flip fries halfway through roasting for even cooking. Use dairy-free cheese and yogurt for vegan or dairy-free adaptations. Air frying is an option for quicker cooking (15-20 minutes at 400°F). Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven for best texture.
