Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Schneiden Sie die Süßkartoffeln in möglichst gleichmäßige Stifte, damit sie gleichmäßig knusprig werden. Achten Sie darauf, den Airfryer-Korb nicht zu überfüllen, denn nur so werden die Pommes schön goldbraun. Wer es schärfer mag, gibt noch etwas Cayennepfeffer zu den Gewürzen.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Sie können die Mayonnaise für eine leichtere Aioli durch griechischen Joghurt ersetzen. Experimentieren Sie mit weiteren Gewürzen wie Zimt oder Chili für Ihren eigenen Twist. Für Vegan-Fans lässt sich die Aioli problemlos mit veganer Mayo zubereiten.

Serviervorschläge

Servieren Sie die Süßkartoffel-Pommes als Beilage zu Burgern, als Snack für die nächste Party oder als Highlight auf Ihrem Tapas-Buffet. Ein Glas Sauvignon Blanc rundet das Geschmackserlebnis perfekt ab.
