Let’s make some delightfully crispy burdock fries that are perfect for a simple snack or a satisfying appetizer. They’re incredibly easy to make and taste amazing!
Main Ingredients- 2 burdock roots (medium-sized)
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp cooking oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Today, we’re going to make some crispy and tender burdock fries that even children will love. They are simple yet irresistibly delicious!
Step 2
First, let’s prepare the burdock. Peel the burdock roots thoroughly and julienne them into strips about 0.5 cm thick. To remove any bitterness, soak the julienned burdock in a vinegar-water solution (about 1 Tbsp vinegar per cup of water) for 10 minutes. Afterwards, rinse them thoroughly under running water and pat them completely dry with paper towels or drain them well in a colander. Ensuring the burdock is dry is key to achieving maximum crispiness.
Step 3
Place the dried burdock strips in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Gently toss the burdock with your hands to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed. This step not only reduces the slightly bitter taste of burdock but also adds a delicious sweet and savory flavor.
Step 4
Arrange the seasoned burdock strips in a single layer in your air fryer basket, avoiding overlap. Air fry at 180°C (356°F) for 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove the basket, flip the burdock strips, and air fry for another 10 minutes at 180°C (356°F). This double cooking time ensures they become golden brown and wonderfully crispy. Please adjust the cooking time based on your specific air fryer model.
Step 5
Voila! Your delicious, crispy, and tender burdock fries are ready. The aroma wafting from the air fryer as they cook is sure to whet your appetite. These are fantastic as a healthy snack for kids and also make an excellent accompaniment to a cold beer!
