This sweet dipping sauce is the perfect condiment for sweet potato fries. It’s made with maple syrup, finely chopped toasted pecans and mayonnaise. The combination of mayo and maple syrup may sound odd at first but it really works surprisingly well. The sweetness of the syrup counteracts the slight tang of the mayonnaise and makes for a really delicious and creamy sauce.

Ingredients needed:

Maple syrup, pecans and mayonnaise in bowls on a table.
You need mayonnaise, pecans and maple syrup to make the dipping sauce.

Ingredient notes:

  • Be sure to use real (pure) maple syrup for this recipe, not any imitations. (For more savory recipe ideas with maple syrup also check out this maple mustard chicken marinade. It adds delicious fall flavors to a chicken breast!)
