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

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 360°F.
  2. Fill basket halfway with frozen fries. Air fry for 11 to 12 minutes. Slide basket out and shake halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  3. Transfer the cooked fries to a bowl or plate then line the air fryer basket with parchment or foil. 
  4. Add the fries back to the air fryer. Cover the top and sides with squares of Brie and top with dollops of cranberry chutney.     
  5. Cook until cheese is fully melted, about 1 minute.  Carefully lift the fries out on parchment paper and place on a serving platter.
  6. Garnish with chopped candied pecans and fresh thyme.      

Cranberry Chutney:

  1. Add all ingredients to a medium saucepan and set over medium heat.        
  2. 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.         
  3. 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.
