Ingredients
- 1 bag McCain Crinkle Cut Sweet Potato Fries (19 oz)
- 4 ounces Brie cheese, rind removed, sliced and cut into squares
- ¼ cup prepared Cranberry Chutney
- 2 tablespoons candied pecans, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (from 3 to 4 sprigs)
Cranberry Chutney (makes 2 cups):
- 1 (12 oz) bag fresh whole cranberries
- ¾ cup water
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
How to make it
- Preheat the air fryer to 360°F.
- Fill basket halfway with frozen fries. Air fry for 11 to 12 minutes. Slide basket out and shake halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Transfer the cooked fries to a bowl or plate then line the air fryer basket with parchment or foil.
- Add the fries back to the air fryer. Cover the top and sides with squares of Brie and top with dollops of cranberry chutney.
- Cook until cheese is fully melted, about 1 minute. Carefully lift the fries out on parchment paper and place on a serving platter.
- Garnish with chopped candied pecans and fresh thyme.
Cranberry Chutney:
- Add all ingredients to a medium saucepan and set over medium heat.
- Cook, stirring occasionally with rubber spatula until the cranberries begin to burst, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until thickened, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat, and let cool slightly before pouring into a bowl or storage container. Cool completely then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
