Yayoi’s Crispy Za’atar Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

• 3 large sweet potatoes
• 3 tbsp za’atar blend
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Method

1. 1Peel and wash the sweet potatoes with a peeler, dice into long strips approximately 5mm. For extra crispiness, soak in cold water for an hour
2. 2Place sweet potato strips into a large zip lock bag, then add in the olive oil first, then the Za’atar. Seal the bag, blow some air so that it becomes puffy like a ballon. Then shake in all directions vigorously for a couple of minutes
3. 3Preheat the oven to 200c convention, prepare a flat tray covered with foil. Dump the seasoned strips onto the tray, just enough to cover the tray in one layer. One layer is most ideal for an even toast across all strips
4. 4Place the tray into the middle of the oven, cook for 25 minutes.
5. 5Switch to oven to broil mode (top heater only), turn the temperature to high, then move the tray to the top rack. Broil for 5 minutes until the surfaces are crisped to your liking.
