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