Ideas for using smoky maple mustard dipping sauce

This maple mustard dipping sauce is the absolute perfect dip for sweet potato fries, especially these air fryer frozen sweet potato fries.

I have to warn you though...once you start dipping those fries, you might not be able to stop. 😉

It's also great for dipping these air fryer frozen tater tots, air fried tofu nuggets, or chickpea nuggets and for using on veggies (like these air fryer carrots) and roasted or baked potatoes.

This versatile sauce also works as a spread for your favorite plant-based burgers, sandwiches and wraps.

We looooove it on our sweet potato black bean burgers.
