Description

Air Fried Sweet Potato Fries are a healthier option to enjoy fried foods with less calories and less fat.  They are crispy on the outside while tender and sweet inside.  Sweet potato fries can be served as a side dish to accompany your main course or as an excellent healthy snack.   In the Puerto Rican culture, mayo-ketchup is often provided as a dipping sauce but you can definitely serve the fries with regular ketchup.

Scale

Ingredients

Seasoning Ingredients:

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon lite salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

Regular Ingredients:

  • 1 sweet potato, consistent fat middle for evenly shaped fries
  • ½  to 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

 

Instructions

  1.  Cut both ends of sweet potato and peel.
  2.  Rinse and pat dry with a paper towel.
  3.  With a sharp knife, cut the sweet potato in half lengthwise.
  4.  Place the flat side down of each half and cut into ½-inch slices.
  5.  Take each slice and cut into ½-inch sticks.  Place in a bowl.
  6.   Pour oil over the fries and coat them evenly.
  7.   In a small bowl, mix the seasoning ingredients.  Sprinkle the seasonings onto fries and turn them over to coat.
  8.  Add cornstarch inside a mesh strainer and tap strainer on the side to release cornstarch onto fries.  Repeat this process until the fries are completely and evenly coated with cornstarch.
  9.  Preheat air fryer (Ninja Foodie Deluxe Cooker).  Insert basket inside pot with diffuser attached to the bottom of basket.  Select the Air Crisp Program.  Set temperature to 360°F and set the time to 5 minutes.  Press the Start/Stop button to begin.
  10. Once the unit is preheated, carefully place the sweet potato fries in the basket.  Arrange them in a single layer.  Space them evenly apart for consistent browning and crisping.
  11.   Close lid.  Select the Air Crisp program.  Set temperature to 330°F and set the time to 20 minutes.  Press the Start/Stop button to begin.   Check on the fries after 10 minutes of air frying.
  12.   Open lid after 10 minutes of air frying to check on the fries.  Turn them over carefully with tongs and space them apart.  Close lid again to automatically resume air frying for the remaining 10 minutes.
  13.   After the air frying cycle is complete, check the fries for doneness and crispiness.  Remove from basket, using tongs and place on a wire rack to cool for 2 to 3 minutes.  Spread them apart on wire rack to avoid any steaming in order to crisp.
  14.  Serve warm and enjoy.
