Ingredients

2 medium size sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Heat the air fryer to 380°F. Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them into uniform ¼-inch thick sticks, trimming off the thin ends.
Place the sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl, and toss with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Cook in 2 or 3 batches, depending on the size of your basket without overcrowding the pan, until they’re crispy. I recommend 10-12 minutes, turning halfway or shaking the basket to make sure they are cooking evenly. The cooking time may vary based on your air fryer.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce such as ketchup or aioli.

Notes

Try to look for shorter sweet potatoes for your fries to make the most of their full length when slicing.
Cut the potatoes as evenly as you can, so they all cook at the same rate.
After washing, pat the sweet potatoes dry with a paper towel before seasoning them.
Be careful not to overcrowd the air fryer basket. Arrange the fries in a single layer, and cook them in 2-3 batches, if necessary.
For the best texture, flip the fries or shake the basket halfway through cooking.

To Store: Place leftovers in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
To Freeze: Store in a freezer-safe bag and freezer for up to 3 months.
To Reheat: For a crispy texture, reheat them in the air fryer or oven until warmed through. You can also heat them in the microwave, but they won’t be as crispy.
