Let’s make crispy sweet potato sticks using the air fryer. Perfect for snacking!
Ingredients- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 Tbsp oligodang (corn syrup or honey)
- 1 Tbsp cooking oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
These crispy and delicious sweet potato sticks are a fantastic snack! Let me show you how to make them.
Step 2
First, wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Then, slice them into sticks about 0.7cm to 1cm thick. Avoid slicing them too thin, as they might break easily. If you prefer, you can cut them into bite-sized pieces. Place the cut sweet potato sticks in cold water for about 10 minutes to remove excess starch. This step is crucial for achieving a crispier texture and preventing them from sticking together. After soaking, drain the sweet potatoes thoroughly using a colander.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine the drained sweet potato sticks with 1 tablespoon of oligodang (or corn syrup/honey) and 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. Gently toss them to coat evenly. The oligodang will add a nice glaze and subtle sweetness, while the oil helps to crisp up the sticks during air frying. Make sure every piece is well-coated.
Step 4
Arrange the coated sweet potato sticks in a single layer in your air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t overlap too much. Air fry at 180°C (356°F) for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, carefully pull out the basket, flip the sweet potato sticks, and air fry for another 5 minutes. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the thickness of your sweet potato sticks and your air fryer model, so keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Step 5
Voila! Your perfectly crispy sweet potato sticks are ready. They are best enjoyed warm, offering a delightful crunch on the outside and a soft, sweet interior. While they’re also delicious when cooled, savoring them fresh from the air fryer is a truly special treat. Enjoy these delightful sweet potato sticks!
