• Cut potato, carrot and parsnip into fries. • Set your air fryer to 200°C. • Place fries into the air fryer basket, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Cook for 10 minutes. Shake the basket, then cook until golden, a further 10-15 minutes. Divide between serving plates.
TIP: No air fryer? Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan forced. Place fries on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Drain sweetcorn. • Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook sweetcorn until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. • Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the corn kernels are “popping” out.
• Meanwhile, cut chicken breast into 2cm strips. • In a medium bowl, combine Tex-Mex spice blend and a generous drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then add chicken breast strips and toss to coat.
• Return frying pan to medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chicken, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• To the bowl with corn, add super slaw mix, baby leaves, vinegar and a generous drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide veggie fries, corn slaw and Tex-Mex chicken between plates. • Top veggie fries with diced bacon. Serve with garlic aioli. Enjoy!
