Ingredients
  

Yacon Roots
  • 2 medium yacon roots about 1 pound total
  • 15 ml olive oil
  • 1 cucchiaino salt
  • 1 cucchiaino paprika optional
  • 0.5 cucchiaino black pepper

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Method
 

  1. Wash and peel the yacon roots. Cut them into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss the yacon slices with olive oil, salt, paprika, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  4. Place the seasoned yacon slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  5. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking, until the yacon is golden brown and tender.
  6. Remove from the air fryer and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra crispiness, you can increase the temperature to 400°F (200°C) for the last 5 minutes of cooking. Yacon is a great source of fiber and can be a healthy alternative to traditional fries.
