Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries
Description
This recipe calls for peeling and slicing medium sweet potatoes into uniform 1/4-inch sticks. The fries are tossed with olive oil and a mixture of spices—salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper—to enhance their natural sweetness with savory and smoky notes.
They are cooked at 380°F in an air fryer, typically for around 12 minutes with a turn halfway through to brown evenly. This technique helps achieve a crispy texture without deep frying. Serving immediately preserves their crispness, and they can be paired with dipping sauces as desired.
Leftovers keep well for three to four days refrigerated. Reheating in the air fryer or toaster oven helps retain the crisp texture better than a microwave, which tends to soften the fries. The recipe allows for spice variations and oil types according to taste preferences.

- 2 sweet potato peeled, medium
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F. Peel the sweet potatoes, then slice each potato into even 1/4 inch thick sticks.
- Place the sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl, and toss with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika 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 12 minutes, turning half way. This may vary based on your air fryer.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Leftover fries can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- Reheat fries in the air fryer or toaster oven to maintain crispness; microwaving will soften them.
- You can adjust spices or use a different oil based on preference.
- The NuWave Air Fryer is used for this recipe, but cooking times may vary by air fryer model.
