Batata-doce frita na air fryer

Ingredientes

• 2 medium sweet potatoes (peeled (about 322 grams))
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 tablespoon corn starch
• salt and pepper

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Wash, peel and cut the sweet potatoes into ¼ inch thick fries. You may also use mandolin which works best to cut evenly sized fries.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, soak the fries in cold water and let them sit for about 15-30 minutes (removes excess starch in sweet potatoes). Drain the water well and dab the fries dry with a kitchen towel.

3. 3

   Put the fries in a bowl. Add olive oil, garlic powder, corn starch, red chili powder, salt, pepper. Toss them well, so they are all coated with the seasoning.

4. 4

   Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C). Add the seasoned fries to the air fryer basket and spread them in a single layer (cook in batches if required). Make sure not to overcrowd them.

5. 5

   Air fryer them at 380°F (193°C) for 12-14 minutes or until crispy and golden. Toss the fries halfway through. If your fries are not crispy then air fry them a bit longer. Cook time will depend on the thickness of your fries.

6. 6

   Serve Sweet Potato Fries hot and enjoy with ketchup.
