Sweet Potato Fries with Manjistha
I love the smoky almost paprika flavor of these fries! Manjistha spice is a heavy hitter in the herbal sphere - and boasts of so many benefits it is hard to count. It's slightly bitter flavor reminds me of paprika, so coupled with the right peppercorns I can almost recreate those smoky spicy flavors I enjoy.
Equipment
- Air Fryer Oven or Large Cast Iron Pan
Ingredients
- 1-2 Japanese Sweet Potatoes
- 1 tbsp liquid coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp manjistha spice
- 1/2 tsp Himalayan pink or Celtic sea salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black peppercorn blend of choice I like Tellicherry, smoked, Tasmanian pepperberries and Grains of Paradise
Instructions
- Halve the sweet potatoes lengthwise, lie open face down and cut into strips at desired thickness. (I like mine about .75 centimeter)
- Turn them on their side again and cut strips into fries.
- Coat with liquid coconut oil* (I like to use a glass spray bottle for this, like Sally’s organics)
- Sprinkle with Manjistha, salt and black pepper of choice and toss together.
- Place in air fryer rack of Breville Smart Oven Air. (You can do this in a standard air fryer in smaller batches or place them all in a hot cast iron pan in a preheated oven)
- Airfry at 360°F - 375°F for 25 minutes.
- Serve.
