Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries
Description
This recipe for Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries starts with peeling and cutting a sweet potato into uniform ⅛-inch thick fries to promote even cooking. The fries are coated lightly with avocado oil, sea salt, and black pepper to enhance their natural sweetness and provide seasoning. Cooking takes place in an air fryer set to 375°F, in a single layer to allow optimal air circulation for crispiness, with a midway toss to promote even browning.
The result is fries that develop a crisp exterior while maintaining a tender interior, avoiding sogginess that sometimes occurs with baking or microwaving. These fries can be served immediately with your choice of dipping sauces to complement the mild seasoning.
Leftover fries should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheating in the air fryer preserves crispiness best by cooking at 375°F for 1-2 minutes. Alternatively, a toaster oven or conventional oven can be used, but reheating in a microwave is not recommended as it softens the fries.
Ingredients
- 1 sweet potato
- ½ Tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ⅛-¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Wash and peel sweet potato and cut it lengthwise into french fry shapes, about ⅛ inch thick. Try to make all the fries about the same size so that they cook evenly.
- Add sweet potato fries to a bowl and toss with oil, salt and pepper.
- Add sweet potato fries to the air fryer in a single layer and cook on 375°F for 10-12 minutes, tossing once halfway through. You may need to cook these in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Serve fries immediately with dipping sauce of choice, if using.
Notes
- Store leftover fries in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat fries in the air fryer at 375°F for 1-2 minutes for best texture.
- Toaster ovens and conventional ovens are suitable for reheating but microwaving may soften the fries.
