Beet and Sweet Potato Fries

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 20 min. YIELD: 5 servings (1/2 cup sauce).
Instead of offering traditional french fries, try these oven-baked root vegetables as a flavorful side dish. —Marie Rizzio, Interlochen, Michigan

  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon pink peppercorns, crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon green peppercorns, crushed
