Equipment:
Air Fryer
Ingredients:
● 2 large sweet potatoes
● 2 tablespoons olive oil
● 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
● 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
● 1/2 teaspoon cumin
● 1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
● 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
● Preheat the Air Fryer to 400°F (200°C) for a few minutes.
● Scrub the sweet potatoes well and cut them into evenly sized wedges for uniform
cooking.
● In a large bowl, combine the wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin,
salt, and black pepper. Toss everything well to ensure each piece is coated with the
seasoning.
● Place the seasoned wedges in a single layer inside the Air Fryer basket. Make sure not
to overcrowd them. If needed, cook in batches for even crispiness.
● Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to get that golden brown
color on the outside while keeping the inside tender.
● Meanwhile, in a frying pan, cook the bacon over high heat, stirring often to prevent it
from sticking. Once golden, reserve it for later.
● In another pan, melt butter and add sliced onions. Pour in a little water and let it
evaporate. Cook further for a few minutes until the slices turn caramelized.
● Prepare the Brie by keeping it in its box. Slice it lengthwise and then make cuts
widthwise to form a checkerboard pattern. Be careful not to cut through the base, as it
should hold together.
● Drizzle melted butter, honey, thyme, and rosemary over the Brie. Gently press garlic
quarters into the holes in the pattern.
● Place the wooden box with the Brie inside the Air Fryer basket and bake for 8 minutes at
355°F (180°C).
● Remove the Brie and discard the garlic quarters. Sprinkle the crispy bacon and
caramelized onions on top.
● Serve hot and enjoy with your favorite sides
