Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp paprika
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F.
  2. Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them into even ¼ inch thick sticks.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato sticks with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Depending on the size of your air fryer basket, cook the sweet potato fries in 2 or 3 batches to avoid overcrowding.
  5. Cook for approximately 12 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they're crispy and golden brown.
  6. Once done, serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Pro Tip: For extra crispiness, soak the sliced sweet potatoes in cold water for about 30 minutes before patting them dry and seasoning. This helps remove excess starch, resulting in even crispier fries!
Variation: Try sprinkling grated Parmesan cheese over the sweet potato fries during the last few minutes of cooking for a savory twist. The cheese will melt and form a deliciously crispy crust, adding a burst of flavor to your fries. Alternatively, for a hint of sweetness, drizzle a bit of honey over the fries after cooking and sprinkle with cinnamon for a delightful dessert-inspired treat! Experiment with different toppings and seasonings to customize your fries to suit your taste preferences.
