For a less-indulgent take on French fries, try these air-fried veggie sticks. Toss root vegetables with your choice of seasoning blends, then air-fry and serve with a citrus-herb dip.
Because they're not as starchy as potatoes, these root veggie sticks won't be quite as crispy as French fries. But frying them in an air fryer does help you mimic the look and taste of deep-fat fried foods while using very little oil.
Ingredients
- 1 pound assorted root vegetables (carrots, parsnips, beets, onions, and or sweet potatoes) peeled and cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon seasoning blend
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ cup plain Greek-style yogurt
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs
Directions
Step 1
Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Add root vegetables to a large bowl and toss with oil, seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Step 2
Working in batches as needed, spread out sticks in the air-fryer basket.
Step 3
Air-fry, turning or stirring halfway through, until sticks are tender and golden, about 18 minutes.
Step 4
Stir together yogurt, citrus zest, citrus juice, herbs, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl for the dip. Serve dip with veggie sticks.
Cook’s Note:
Try cutting the root vegetables into even sticks, 2- to 3-inch long and about 1/2 inch thick.
