Indulge in air fryer honey glazed duck bites with spiced sweet potato wedges for a flavor-packed, crispy, and juicy delight you won't forget!
Ingredients
- • Duck breast: 2 large, skin-on
- • Honey: 1/4 cup
- • Soy sauce: 2 tablespoons
- • Orange zest: 1 teaspoon
- • Fresh ginger: 1 teaspoon, grated
- • Sweet potatoes: 2 large, cut into wedges
- • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • Smoked paprika: 1 teaspoon
- • Ground cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Cayenne pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
- • Salt: to taste
- • Black pepper: to taste
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
- 2 Pat the duck breasts dry with paper towels and score the skin in a criss-cross pattern. This helps the fat render during cooking, resulting in crispy skin.
- 3 In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, orange zest, and grated ginger. Mix well to form the glaze.
- 4 Brush the duck breasts with the honey glaze generously, ensuring the glaze covers both sides. Reserve some glaze for later.
- 5 Place the duck breasts in the air fryer basket skin-side down. Cook for 15 minutes, then turn and cook for another 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- 6 While the duck is cooking, toss the sweet potato wedges with olive oil, smoked paprika, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl.
- 7 Once the duck is cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, increase the air fryer temperature to 400°F (204°C) and cook the sweet potato wedges for 15 minutes, shaking halfway through for even cooking.
- 8 Slice the rested duck breast into bite-sized pieces and drizzle with the remaining honey glaze.
- 9 Serve the honey glazed duck bites alongside the spiced sweet potato wedges for a perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and savory.
Serving Suggestions
- • These indulgent duck bites pair wonderfully with a light, tangy slaw made from red cabbage, carrots, and a citrus vinaigrette, balancing the richness of the duck. For a beverage, consider a crisp Riesling or a refreshing wheat beer to complement the sweet and spicy flavors. A simple green salad with a lemony dressing also works well to cleanse the palate between bites.
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the duck bites and sweet potato wedges in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through. This helps maintain the crispiness of the duck skin and the texture of the sweet potatoes.
