How To Cook Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries

Step 1

Start by peeling the sweet potatoes and slicing them into even ¼ inch thick sticks.

Step 2

Place the sweet potato sticks in a mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil, salt, paprika powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss the sweet potatoes until they are evenly coated with the seasoning.

Step 3

Place the sweet potato sticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer basket, you may need to cook the sweet potatoes in 2 batches to avoid overcrowding.

Step 4

Air Fry the sweet potato fries at 380 °F for about 12 minutes, flipping them halfway through. The sweet potato fries should be crispy and golden brown when they are done.

Recipe Tips

• Cut the fries evenly: Cut the sweet potatoes into even-size fries so they cook evenly. Aim for fries that are about 1/4 inch thick.
• Soak the fries: Soaking the sweet potato fries in cold water for 30 minutes before air frying removes excess starch and helps them become crispy.
• Pat the fries dry: After soaking the fries, pat them dry with a paper towel.
• Don’t overcrowd the basket: Cook the fries in batches if necessary, and make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket. This ensures they cook evenly and become crispy instead of soggy.
• Shake the basket: Shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking to ensure the fries cook evenly.
• Serve immediately: Serve the sweet potato fries immediately after cooking for the best texture and flavor.
