Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries



Last year I purchased a Philips Air Fryer and since then I've enjoyed creating recipes specifically for the air fryer. I love sweet potato fries and adapted a recipe for the air fryer. These sweet potato fries are healthy, spicy and tasty.   

 INGREDIENTS:

 3 medium peeled sweet potatoes 
2 tablespoon olive oil
1  tsp sea salt
2 cloves crushed garlic
1/2 teaspoon hot paprika
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon thyme

1/2 teaspoon pink Himalayan sea salt

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat air fryer to 400°F 8 minutes.
Lightly spray the fryer basket with oil.
Slice each potato into even 1/4 inch thick fries.
Toss with oil, salt, garlic, paprika and red pepper.
Cook in 3 or 4 batches, without overcrowding the pan 8 minutes, turning half way. Place on serving plate and top with pink Himalayan sea salt.

Enjoy!

I make this pasta dish from a recipe in the current, March 2011, Bon Appetit issue. Very rich in taste with the addition of heavy cream, but I think not all calories are the same. You feel more satisfied from delicious calories then junk calories. So skip processed and junk food in favor of a wonderful meal. And remember portion control is always an option to cutting calories. www.bonappetit.com Enjoy

I can't help myself I have to blog about shopping!!

A beautiful natural resource that just takes my breath away.  So in between the beautiful mountains, forest, lakes etc what should appear a few years ago but a T.J. Maxx in, of all places, Littleton New Hampshire.  Now Littleton is a lovely small town that has actually m...

Grilled Mediterranean Shrimp  I love easy dinners that taste so good. Grilling makes summer meals quick, easy and delicious.
