Baked Korean Sweet Potato Fries (Guun Goguma) | 구운 고구마
Pronounced: Goo-Oon Goh-Goh-Mah
Baked Sweet Potatoes
What: Baked or air fried Korean Sweet Potato Fries with Cajun inspired seasoning.
Taste: It tastes similar to the American sweet potato fries you eat at a restaurant, but different because we are using Korean Sweet Potatoes. It is sweeter and less watery than the American orange sweet potato. It has a a subtle nutty flavor. I much prefer the Korean sweet potato!
It’s honestly tastes good by itself (that’s how a lot of Koreans eat it), but some extra seasoning never hurts if you’re in a mood for fries!
How It’s Made: Wash potato. Cut. Coat in oil and seasoning. Bake in air fryer or oven.
What to Serve it With:
It’s good as a snack by itself
I ate this for breakfast along with a fried egg and guacamole.
Notes & Tips
