servings
Ingredients
- 4 medium Japanese Sweet Potatoes peeled
- 1/2 tsp. paprika
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tbsp. avocado oil
Sauce
- 1 large tomato petite diced
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 1/2 small onion petite diced
- 1 tbsp. tomato paste
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 whole Habanero pepper finely chopped, optional to make it spicy
Instructions
- Pre-heat air fryer to 400 degrees F.
- Cut the potatoes into 1/4 inch thick fries. Rinse and pat dry.
- In a bowl, coat the potatoes with olive oil, paprika and salt.
- Line the air fryer basket with the fries, leaving space between the pieces. Do them in 2-3 batches so you don't over crowd the fryer.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown, shaking the basket half way through.
- To prepare the sauce, sauté the diced onions with the olive oil until translucent, then add in the diced tomatoes and finely chopped habanero pepper. Sauté for a couple of minutes then add in the tomato paste and salt. Mix well and lower the heat to simmer. Cook for 8-10 minutes on low heat.
- When both the sauce and fries are ready, serve together and enjoy.
Notes
- Make sure to preheat the air fryer.
- Be sure to cut your fries into similar sized slices.
- Don't overcrowd the basket, cook in batches if needed.
- Turn the fries halfway through cooking, for an even crispiness.
- To check doneness you open up the air fryer and check near the end of the cook.
- You can leave out the habanero from the sauce, if you want less heat.
