Cooking Instructions

Step 1

Let me introduce you to a delightful sweet potato candy recipe! This version is made with allulose, offering a healthier alternative to traditional sugar, making it a perfect guilt-free treat.

Step 2

Begin by thoroughly washing and peeling two medium-sized sweet potatoes. Next, dice them into uniform bite-sized cubes, about 2cm in size. Soaking the cut sweet potatoes in cold water for a few minutes can help remove excess starch, preventing them from sticking together when fried and resulting in a crispier texture.

Step 3

Place the diced sweet potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and microwave for 3 minutes. This pre-cooking step helps to partially soften the sweet potatoes, reducing the frying time and ensuring they cook through evenly.

Step 4

In a deep pan or pot, heat a generous amount of cooking oil over medium-high heat (around 170°C or 340°F). Carefully add the par-cooked sweet potato cubes and fry them until they turn a golden brown and become crispy. Stir occasionally to ensure even browning and to prevent burning.

Step 5

Once fried to perfection, remove the sweet potatoes from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. In a separate pan, combine the 2 tablespoons of allulose and 1 tablespoon of sugar over medium-low heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to thicken into a syrup-like consistency. Be careful not to burn it.

Step 6

Add the fried sweet potatoes to the pan with the allulose-sugar syrup. Gently toss them over low heat until each piece is evenly coated with the glaze. It’s important to do this quickly to prevent the sweet potatoes from becoming too soft or the glaze from hardening too much.

Step 7

Finally, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of black sesame seeds over the coated sweet potatoes. Gently mix them in to distribute evenly, adding a nutty flavor and a beautiful visual touch.

Step 8

And there you have it! Your healthy and delicious sweet potato candies with allulose are ready. Enjoy them warm for a comforting treat, or chilled for a refreshing snack. Happy cooking!
