It is rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making it a healthy alternative to regular potatoes.
2. Panko Breadcrumbs
Panko breadcrumbs are an essential element in creating the perfect crispy texture for the sweet potato sticks. These Japanese breadcrumbs are lighter and crispier than regular breadcrumbs, giving the sticks a satisfying crunch.
3. Seasonings
To add flavor to the sweet potato sticks, you will need salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. These simple seasonings complement the sweetness of the potatoes and give them a delicious savory taste.
Instructions:
1. Preparing the Sweet Potatoes
Start by peeling the sweet potatoes and cutting them into long, thin sticks. It is important to make sure that the sticks are evenly sized to ensure they cook evenly.
2. Coating the Sweet Potato Sticks
In a bowl, mix together some flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the sweet potato sticks in this mixture, making sure they are fully coated. Then, dip them in beaten eggs and finally coat them in panko breadcrumbs. This method will ensure that the sticks have a crispy outer layer.
3. Frying the Sweet Potato Sticks
Fill a pot with vegetable oil and heat it to 375°F. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated sweet potato sticks and fry them until they are golden brown. Remove them from the pot and let them cool on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
4. Seasoning and Serving
Sprinkle some garlic powder and a pinch of salt on the sweet potato sticks while they are still hot. This will enhance the flavor of the sticks. Serve them hot with your choice of dipping sauce, such as ketchup or mayo.
