Sweet Potato Poutine with Chimichurri Sauce
These cheesy sweet potato fries topped with a spicy green sauce taste as good as they look! Serve alongside steak and let the chimichurri sauce bridge your flavors.
Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 2 Large Sweet Potatoes (washed and cut into wedges)
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/4 Tsp Black Pepper (freshly ground)
- 1/4 Tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/4 Tsp Paprika
- 4 Oz Monterey Jack Cheese (shredded)
Chimichurri Sauce
- 1/2 Cup Olive oil
- 2 Tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
- 1/2 Cup Fresh Parsley (Roughly chopped)
- 2 Small Dried Red Chilies (finely chopped)
- 4 Cloves Garlic (finely chopped)
- 1 Tbsp Dried Oregano
- 1/2 Tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/2 Tsp Black Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 380 degrees F. Then clean Sweet Potatoes and slice them into 1/2 inch wedges. Place the wedged sweet potatoes in a large bowl and add Olive Oil, Kosher Salt, Black Pepper, Garlic Powder, and Paprika. Toss to coat.
- Put the sweet potatoes into the air fryer being sure not to over crowd the basket. Depending on the size of your basket, you may need to work in batches. Air fry for 20 min, turning half way though. If you've cut smaller fries (1/4 inch) you will have a shorter air fry time, about 12 minutes.
- Make the Chimichurri sauce by adding the chimichurri ingredients to medium bowl and mixing together. Let the sauce sit for at least 10 minutes before using.
- Once the air fryer has completed, remove the sweet potato fries and sprinkle with shredded Monterey Jack Cheese. Spoon Chimichurri sauce over the sweet potatoes and cheese. Serve immediately.
Notes
- If you prefer conventional baking. Place the sweet potato wedges on an aluminum foil lined baking sheet and bake 45-50 minutes at 425 degrees F.
- If unable to find small dried red chilies, substitute a 1/2 Tsp red pepper flakes.
- To reduce the spice level of this dish, use one dried red chili.
- If your oven has a convection setting... it is a giant air fryer!
