Cinnamon Honey Swirl Sweet Potato Fries
Making Delightful Swirl Sweet Potatoes with Cinnamon and Honey
Sweet potato season is here again! π Today, I’ve made a healthy snack using sweet, delightful sweet potatoes. (You can find more recipes on my blog. Feel free to follow!) https://blog.naver.com/mabuce
Ingredients- 1 medium sweet potato
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 Tbsp water
- 1 Tbsp cooking oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
The ingredients for this recipe are super simple! Just prepare one sweet potato, honey, a mandoline slicer, and toothpicks. π―
Step 2
Wash the sweet potato thoroughly, keeping the skin on. We’ll be using the skin for extra flavor and nutrients. Next, use a mandoline slicer to thinly and evenly slice the sweet potato. The thinner the slices, the easier they will be to roll!
Step 3
Gently roll each thin sweet potato slice into a spiral shape, resembling a small rosebud. Secure the rolled shape with a toothpick so it doesn’t unravel. πΈ
Step 4
Because the sweet potato slices are so thin, they roll up easily into these beautiful swirl shapes. The key is to secure them well with toothpicks.
Step 5
Here’s how many adorable swirls we got from just one sweet potato! They already look so tempting. ^^
Step 6
Now, let’s prepare the sweet potatoes for baking. Using a pastry brush, generously coat each sweet potato swirl with cooking oil. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy texture.
Step 7
Place the oiled sweet potato swirls into a preheated air fryer. Bake at 180-190β (350-375Β°F) for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Adjust baking time based on the thickness of your slices.
Step 8
These baked sweet potatoes are delicious enough to eat on their own! They taste just like the crispy sweet potato fries you find at markets. π
Step 9
Now, we’ll make the glaze to add a sweet touch to our baked sweet potatoes. Instead of corn syrup, we’ll use honey for a more natural and rich sweetness.
Step 10
The golden ratio for the glaze is 2 Tbsp water : 2 Tbsp honey : 1 Tbsp cooking oil. Combine these ingredients in a small saucepan and gently heat over low heat, stirring until the honey has melted and the mixture is smooth. Be careful not to burn the honey. π₯
Step 11
Once the glaze is slightly thickened and simmering, carefully add the baked sweet potato swirls to the saucepan. β¨οΈ
Step 12
Gently toss the sweet potato swirls in the glaze until they are evenly coated. Make sure every piece is beautifully coated with the sweet honey mixture.
Step 13
Traditionally, black sesame seeds are used for garnish, but if you don’t have any on hand, a sprinkle of cinnamon powder works wonderfully! The subtle aroma of cinnamon complements the sweetness of the sweet potatoes, creating a fantastic flavor profile. β¨
