Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, a tip for selecting the best sweet potatoes: choose ones that are medium-sized, evenly shaped, and have smooth skin. These are ideal for roasting in an air fryer or steaming. You can enjoy them with the skin on or peeled – both ways are delicious!
Step 2
Thoroughly wash 3 medium-sized chestnut sweet potatoes. Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper and arrange the sweet potatoes on top. Roast them at 180°C (350°F) for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, check if they are cooked to your liking. If they seem a bit undercooked, continue to roast for another 5 minutes. This ensures they become wonderfully moist and perfectly tender inside. (Total cooking time: 25 minutes)
Step 3
Enjoying a warm latte alongside these air-fried sweet potatoes makes for a surprisingly satisfying meal. The combination of nutrient-rich sweet potato and creamy latte creates a delightful and filling experience, perfect for any time of day.
Step 4
After the initial 20 minutes of roasting, if the sweet potatoes aren’t quite tender enough for your preference, add an extra 5 minutes to the cooking time. This adjustment ensures you achieve the perfect texture every time. You’ll end up with beautifully roasted, sweet, and moist sweet potatoes.
Step 5
Take one of the perfectly roasted sweet potatoes. While it’s still warm, carefully peel off the skin. Place the peeled sweet potato into a blender or food processor. Add 1 cup (approximately 200ml) of milk.
Step 6
Blend the mixture until it’s smooth and creamy. Pour the luscious sweet potato latte into your favorite mug. For an extra touch of flavor and aroma, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon powder on top. This simple addition elevates the entire experience.
Step 7
Savor your warm roasted sweet potato and a delightful cup of sweet potato latte. This pairing evokes a cozy cafe atmosphere right in your home and serves as a perfectly satisfying snack or a light, yet nourishing meal.
