Ingredients
  

  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon cornstarch for extra crispiness

Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions:

    Preheat the Air Fryer:

    • Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:

    • Wash and peel the sweet potatoes.
    • Cut the sweet potatoes into evenly sized fries, about 1/4 inch thick.

    Season the Fries:

    • In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil until evenly coated.
    • Sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the fries, and toss again to coat evenly. Optionally, add cornstarch to the bowl and toss until evenly coated for extra crispiness.

    Arrange in the Air Fryer Basket:

    • Place the seasoned sweet potato fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.

    Air Fry:

    • Air fry the sweet potato fries at 380°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.

    Check for Doneness:

    • The sweet potato fries are done when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

    Serve:

    • Once cooked, transfer the sweet potato fries to a serving platter.
    • Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, aioli, or sriracha mayo.

    Notes

    Tips:

    • Even Slicing: Try to cut the sweet potato fries into uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.
    • Spacing: Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation, which helps achieve crispiness.
    • Seasoning Variations: Feel free to experiment with different seasonings such as chili powder, cumin, or cinnamon for a unique flavor twist.
    • Dipping Sauces: Sweet potato fries pair well with a variety of dipping sauces, so don't be afraid to get creative with your condiments.
