Air Fryer Pizza Fries
One of the questions we’re asked most frequently, especially in the runup to Pesach, is “will this recipe work in an air fryer? And sheepishly, we’ve often had to tell people we haven’t tried it, but that it probably will, and to let us know how they get on! Well, this year, we decided to lean in and buy a new milky air fryer to speed up the process of making matza pizzas, chips and vegetable patties for our toddler. Admittedly, our regular air fryer is usually used mainly for chips, but at a time of year where potatoes are the main carb, we thought it would be a perfect addition to our Pesach kitchen setup. We opted for something small, basic and inexpensive, but it’s been a game-changer so far, and we thought we’d publish this pizza fries recipe as our very first offering, because it’s simply too good not to share!
Sweet Potato and Squash Chips
Root vegetables are a seasonal staple for Sukkot and Rosh Hashana, as well as a Pesach-friendly side and an alternative to white potatoes. These sweet vegetables are also ideal for Rosh Hashana, where we have the custom to eat sweet foods for a “good and sweet new year,” and we eat gourds such as squash as one of the Simanim, representing our desire that, if it be Hashem’s will, that the evil of our verdicts be torn apart, and that our merits be announced before Him.
Sweet Potato & Celeriac Wedges
A couple of our favourite alternatives to potato, sweet potato and celeriac wedges provide sweetness and earthiness to a meal, and provide a great way to mix up a Passover menu, especially if your custom is not to eat kitniyot such as rice. This recipe is really quick and easy – the longest part is peeling the veg! Seasoning is entirely to taste and these root vegetables are versatile and will accept virtually any herbs and spices you might throw at them!
