Pinch of salt and black pepper, to your taste
11 -
1/2 tsp garlic powder or 1 minced garlic clove (use to your liking)
# Instructions:
01 -
Chop the sweet potatoes into thick rounds, about 3cm wide. Add them to boiling water with a little salt. Let them soften for 5-8 minutes until a knife slides through easily.
02 -
In a bowl, stir together the olive oil, cornstarch, garlic powder, sriracha, salt, and pepper. Keep the honey aside for later.
03 -
Take the cooked sweet potatoes out of the water and spread them out evenly on a baking sheet.
04 -
Put a little piece of baking paper over each sweet potato piece. Flatten them carefully with the bottom of a cup or jar to about 1cm thick. Do the same for all the slices.
05 -
Using a brush, coat one side of the flattened sweet potatoes with the seasoning mix. Turn them over and brush the other side.
06 -
Pop the sweet potatoes into the oven or air fryer at 180°C. Cook for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until both sides are perfectly golden and crispy.
07 -
Combine Greek yogurt with salt, pepper, and your choice of garlic powder or freshly minced garlic for a simple creamy sauce.
08 -
Toward the last leg of cooking, drizzle honey over the crisp sweet potato pieces. Leave them in for a couple more minutes so they turn sticky.
09 -
Remove the potatoes from the oven or air fryer, add a sprinkle of salt or seasoning if needed, and plate them. Enjoy right away with the garlic yogurt for dipping!
