Description
What do Gluten Free Chicken Tenders, Freezer Chicken Nuggets, Protein Black Bean Burgers, and Simple Burger Patties all have in common? That's right, a side of fries. I've made Spiced Sweet Potato Fries before by cutting sweet potatoes into long, thin fries and air frying them. But today, I'm using my mandoline to make waffle fries instead. Compared to traditional fries, these have significantly less oil as they're not deep fried. Feel free to swap sweet potatoes for regular white or yellow potatoes. All potatoes are healthy (as long as they're prepared right). Serve with a side of Unsweetened BBQ Sauce or Date Sweetened Ketchup

  1. This recipe only makes 1 serving as that's all that can fit in the air fryer at a time, but you can easily scale it up and fry in batches. Or you can bake in the oven, but it will take about double the time and not be as crispy
  2. Wash your sweet potato, and slice off the ends (but don't peel it!). Slice the potato using a mandoline on the waffle fry setting
  3. Add your fries to a glass bowl, and toss with vinegar, oil, and spices. Cover with a plate, and microwave for 5 minutes to soften the inside a little before air frying
    1. Add to your air fryer basket. You may have to fry in 2 batches. Air fry at 400F for about 6-8 minutes, or until the outside is browned and crispy, and the center is soft and tender
