I’ve decided to post a review after reading some negative ones ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxD4Qeo-HRLxMfom_PDinM_SBfes00qJsB I followed the cleaning instructions prior to using and preheated as well to ensure that we didn’t get the “plastic” smell or taste some have mentioned in other comments. I cleaned the basket with vinegar and water and the dish soap, and preheated it 3x to be sure. Honestly, the cooking time took about 30 min for larger wings and it’s a good idea to turn the meat half way through to cook evenly. The meat taste delicious 😋 Also, there is no mess on the counter from the vapor released during cooking time.
Just watching this as im going to make sweet pot fries with avocado chicken tikka burger, with onion and lettuce with sauce obviously. Cant wait for iftaari.
Glad you enjoyed it! As I said in the video, I don't think you need cornstarch, I haven't seen any improvement, actually I believe in the Air Fryer doesn't help at all.
I think you have to prep the potatoes in a cornstarch / water slurry mixture before putting them in an air fryer. But you are correct. You can't just sprinkle cornstarch on and get a crispy sweet potato fry. It doesn't quite work that way. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for sharing your experience and for watching it! The mixture starch and water is very tricky to me! I tried once and didn’t like it but probably I need more practice.
nice video i like having options in my case with stomach problems definitely no corn starch for me and i usually use coconut or olive oil if i use any oil but i am using air fryer to make my healthy diet less boring. thank you great video
I do like first one. I did find some corn starch in my pantry the other day. Of course is expired in 2018. So naturally 2024 and they come out fine w/out.
Thank you for sharing this video, and all your helpful suggestions. I tried it without the cornflour. They were not as crispy as oven baked but cooked in less time than oven.
Thanks i liked your seasoning you used on the first batch of fries, definitely will try it out. On the 2nd batch, you used the corn starch in a wrong way. Corn starch or any type of frying flour needs to be soak with oil in order to be cooked. Or another method to use corn starch is to steam it in order to immitate a thickness of meat. In dimsum chicken feet dish, they liked to covered with starch flour alot when steamed. So if you want to cook with starch flour in an air fryer you will need to cover your fries with alot of oil and at high heat.
Not a good comparison. The only variable between the 2 should have been the cornstarch. You had different size cut fries, different temp, sprayed additional oil, and it was 2 different potatoes. Would be nice to see the exact same fries, same temp, etc with the only difference is the addition of corn starch.
Air Fryers are amazing and we do sweet potatoes whole and yet to cook homemade chips as we have always bought frozen from market. Find the bought frozen are not as crunchy and always abit soggy with or without cooking spray/oil. We have cooked kumara whole without the oils and they were dry and nasty. We add seasonings only on them as we do whole natural foods and usually cook in lard/fat in our big oven. Can’t wait to air fry sweet potato chips as they are expensive to buy frozen. Don’t like the idea of corn starch (unhealthy). Years ago home made chips and roasts were coated in flour before cooked and then done in lard, they were nice but still am choosing to be healthier so will just use seasoning. Wonder if a drizzle of honey would be nice as it is on other vegetables. Just a thought. Air Fryers for some are bought for the notion that there is no need for oils and sprays but I have found for our cheap fryers that foods are better cooked with spray. I was told it depends on the air fryer as the more expensive intelligent versions can cook better without the fuss but who knows as we can’t afford them
Yes awesome, I will be trying this recipe tonight for the kids and I, I use my air fryer for bodybuilding meal prep and it’s been a game changer for me, glad to find your channel now. New subscriber here! Adam
@@andrewlee7228 It’s funny you said that because the reason I bought the air fryer in the first place is because I’m going through a divorce and my soon to be ex-wife sous vide everything and my kids and I loved it! So I needed to find a way to cook for my kids because I hate cooking lol and I eat mostly chicken rice and broccoli everyday ;)
@@coachhardgainz dude it's funny you said that because I got photoshoot lean a few weeks ago and today was first day of increasing cals and focusing on gainz. Literally just attempted to make crispy sweet potato air fryer fries....didn't go very well but they were crispy in places. Anyway, sous vide = batch cook a weeks worth of chicken in one go. Batch cook a bunch of red meat, cook big joints of meat. It's the best
The heating element is much closer to the food compared to a normal oven. I have shared many articles about EVOO and smoke point. health.usnews.com/wellness/food/articles/why-you-should-stop-worrying-about-olive-oils-smoke-points
@@TheAirFryerGeek just to clarify, I am not criticizing olive oil. Since I almost never fry anything in oil, I ignore smoke points and use extra virgin olive oil in almost everything, because it is a healthier oil. I am not even Italian 😁.
You absolutely never fry on EVOO. It would be barbarian. EV is a cold press. Healthy. Used for salad. Regular OO is fine for frying. Short time, once only, never reuse. If you have to fry, use LARD!!!!!
You can't get the crisp without the oil, the point is not having to dunk it into a vat of really unhealthy oils to soak through and saturate every part of it. Olive oil is much better than the oils they use to fry usually and its only really on the outside. You also need it for the seasonings to stick
Hey let's drown out sweet potatoes fries in corn starch effectively making it pointless to eat sweet potatoes. I'm sure the majority of people looking for this wanted it without the starch and other junk so thanks for that.

All the recipes I've seen have cornstarch, don't have any thank you for making a vid without it! Very simple too! 😊

I'm half chinese and half mexican too. i loved this video! thank you!
I have the same glass tupperware with the plastic lock lid too!
I just followed your recipe, and they turned out so well. Thanks!!
Glad they turned out good! Thanks for watching 😊
nice video i like having options in my case with stomach problems definitely no corn starch for me and i usually use coconut or olive oil if i use any oil but i am using air fryer to make my healthy diet less boring. thank you great video
Thank you for watching!
Commenting before the reveal, I think it will be more crispy with cornstarch
Like your idea of trying different variation.
Hi friend, which Japanese kinfe do you use, and can recommend? Thanks!
It would be nice if you put temperatures in Centigrade as well
Thank you for an honest review of the recipe!!
Thank you for watching
Ima try with the corn starch tonight 😎
Let me know how it turns out!
I do like first one. I did find some corn starch in my pantry the other day. Of course is expired in 2018. So naturally 2024 and they come out fine w/out.
Thank you for this sweet potato fries 🍟 recipe and No corn starch!
Thank you for sharing this video, and all your helpful suggestions. I tried it without the cornflour. They were not as crispy as oven baked but cooked in less time than oven.
Thank you for watching! Glad they turned out good. Sweet fries are indeed tricky to get it right!
The cornstarch crispiness helps with standard potatoes definitely. Idk about sweet potato
I boil my potatoe slices in cornstarch water though. Let them cool in the fridge, then airfry!
I wish there was a way to make really crunchy sweet potato fries in the airfryer.
Thanks i liked your seasoning you used on the first batch of fries, definitely will try it out.

Thanks for the help
Why would you use the basket vs using racks? Thx
Blessings, julie
THANK YOU! I was just about to air fry and I wasn't sure if the corn starch would make that much of a difference!
Thank you for watching! Glad you found it useful!
Corn starch is used for deep frying i have been told, air fryer makes it so you don’t need it
thanks for sharing it!
shit ton of oil is iused for deep frying, air fryer makes it so you dont need a shit ton of oil. corn starch is fine
Not a good comparison. The only variable between the 2 should have been the cornstarch. You had different size cut fries, different temp, sprayed additional oil, and it was 2 different potatoes. Would be nice to see the exact same fries, same temp, etc with the only difference is the addition of corn starch.
Thanks for your feedback!
Very nice recipe
thank you!
Has anyone tried a precooking a little in microwave . Then air frying. I’m going to try that in addition to his recipe.

love your video, thank you! ♥️
Thank you!
Thank you,
You are welcome!
I think if you use oil, cornstarch is better, but air fryers are magical and should be ok without!
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Brilliant thank you 👍😊
Thanks 🙏
I don’t have corn starch.
Can i use flour or something else?
I would just cook without it. Thanks for watching
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
You need cornstarch?
Where do you get the smokey honey rub from??
You can buy it on amazon here --> amzn.to/3siYr2Y
Mine went really soft.i didn't spray in the middle like you did.
Sweet potatoes are a bit tricky and tend to be a bit softer.
@@TheAirFryerGeek they tasted fine though.
Looks great, can you try a stuffed pepper or aubergine recipe please :)
Good idea!
Thank you for this video! Trying it out next week! Love your accent 😍
Thank you for watching!!! I am glad you enjoyed it!!!
Where to buy that honey pepper spice?
What else can I use instead of Paprika? :(
Garlic Powder, Thyme, Rosemary :)
Hi 👋 there. Wanted to do these fries 🍟 so find you and I like your channel on Air Fryer recipes so SUBSCRIBED 😉

Add a sous vide to the set up and you'll have truly ascended to Meal Prep heaven.

Spicy olive oil? Where do I get!?
Love your accent!

Doesn't olive oil have one of the worst smoke points? Isn't smoke point irrelevant in an air fryer? It's just baking.

My guess would be the cornstarch will make it crispy without watching the entire video. Let’s see...
🤔🤫
You watched the video and read the comments before u said this 😂😂
❤️
😋
Nothing is going to be crispy without oil. Coat with corn starch slurry and then fry them, not just bake them.
I didn’t put oil on the cornstarch batch…
Super soggy. With or without corn starch. These have to be fried in oil to be crispy
Baking powder instead of cornstarch may have made a difference.
Will try! 👍
The taste of baking powder is not nice….
Such a small amount can only be cooked at once. No good for family cooking. Great for students.
I pack it in the fryer, and just shake in between. I can bake 1 kg of fries in one basket
You can do a couple of batches, then do both batches together for a couple of minutes at the end.
I think you’re really much to do about nothing
Crispy maybe im not sure lol
no
You don't need to soak the fries... .. they are already dry
Thanks for sharing it! Hope you enjoyed the video!
Soak to get the starch out... ..
Canned sweet potatoes
Ragazzo, too much oil
😅
Bruh u can get an even coating with a plastic bag. Less hassle and easier to toss around.
And bruh, it’s “myth”
good recommendation but less fun! :D
@@TheAirFryerGeek more stuffs to wash 😂
I thought the whole point of using an Air Fryer was so that you avoid using oil.
You would need oil also for baking. It’s less oil compared to a fryer
You can't get the crisp without the oil, the point is not having to dunk it into a vat of really unhealthy oils to soak through and saturate every part of it. Olive oil is much better than the oils they use to fry usually and its only really on the outside. You also need it for the seasonings to stick
350 what? F or C? XD
Seriously, your would think its 350 Celcius? That's 662 degrees Fahrenheit.
Hey let's drown out sweet potatoes fries in corn starch effectively making it pointless to eat sweet potatoes. I'm sure the majority of people looking for this wanted it without the starch and other junk so thanks for that.
Cornstarch is so bad for you, man.
sound too lough
Why does this have to be a 7 minute video?…
Absolutely zero crisp
Corn starch is sugar. Carb. Why would you add more sugar?
Regular potatoes are all starch. Your body takes it all as sugar!!!
