Method
-
Step 1
Start by cutting the sweet potato into 1/4″ thick sticks then soak in a large bowl of cold water for 1 hour. Drain and rinse away the starch then blot dry with a clean tea towel.
-
Step 2
Install the crisper plates into both drawers then select AIRFRY, set the temperature to 200°C and time to 5 minutes, then select START/STOP to pre-heat the unit.
-
Step 3
Whilst the unit is pre-heating mix flours and spices in a large mixing bowl then toss the prepared fries in it until evenly coated. Remove the excess flower then toss in the oil.
-
Step 4
Once the unit has preheated divide the fries between both drawers. Select AIRFRY, set the temperature to 200°C and time to 25 minutes, then select START/STOP. Shake the drawers roughly every 7 minutes and check to see if the fries are crisp after 20 minutes.
-
Step 5
Whilst the fries are cooking place the olive oil, chopped onion, garlic paste, and spices to a medium sized saucepan. Cook on a medium heat for a few minutes until the onions have softened then add the drained kidney beans and cook for a further 2 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients for the chilli and stir until combined. Leave to simmer whilst the fries are cooking. Stir occasionally and reduce heat if needed.
-
Step 6
Mash or blend the avocado with half of the lime juice and all of the lime zest until you reach your desired consistency. Stir in the remaining ingredients then check the flavour and add more lime juice if you wish.
-
Step 7
Once the fries are cooked salt with sea salt. Divide between 4 plates then top with the chilli, guacamole, soured cream, cheese, coriander leaves, and lime wedges.
