Ingredients
- 2 sweet potatoes
- 2 tsp. olive oil
- ½ tsp. garlic powder
- ½ tsp. chili powder
- ½ tsp. cumin
- ½ tsp. salt
- ½ cup pomegranate arils
- 2 tbsp. roasted peanuts
- ½ cup chickpeas optional
- 2 tbsp. sev
- ½ tsp. chaat masala
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice
- 3 tbsp. green chutney
Directions
- Peel sweet potatoes and cut them into ½ inch cubes. I have used white flesh ones here. Orange or purple work as good. Toss them in oil and garlic powder, cumin, salt and chilli powder.
- I did not preheat the air fryer this time. Just spread them in a single layer in air fryer basket. Air fry at 190C or 375F for 15 minutes till they are nicely roasted outside and cooked inside. We want sweet potato to still hold its form and not get mushy.
- Oven Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F or 200C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay tossed sweet potato cubes on it.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes till sweet potato cubes are nicely roasted. You can flip them midway.
- Transfer the cooked sweet potatoes in a shallow bowl. If using chickpeas, add 1 cup drained chickpeas here. Add some spicy green chutney and sweet tamarind chutney if using. Sprinkle lemon juice. Mix well.
- Top with chaat masala or some Himalayan pink salt, pomegranate arils, toasted peanuts and fine sev.
- Serve immediately. You will love the burst of delicious flavours in this sweet potato chaat. You can serve it at parties as a tasty appetizer.
