Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries
Description
The Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries recipe transforms carefully sliced sweet potatoes into crisp, golden fries with a tender interior. After coating the slices evenly in olive oil and a seasoning mix of salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika, they cook evenly in an air fryer set to either 375°F or 350°F depending on the fryer type. Shaking the basket halfway through ensures even browning and crispness. The spices add a subtle savory note complementing the natural sweetness of the potatoes.
These fries provide a texture contrast with their crunchy edges and soft centers, making them enjoyable on their own or alongside dips. The seasoning can be adjusted to taste, and optional toppings such as cilantro or parmesan add an extra flavor layer and presentation appeal.
Leftover fries can be refrigerated for up to five days in an airtight container or frozen after flash-freezing on a baking sheet. Reheating in the air fryer helps restore their crispiness, which is preferred over microwaving.
Ingredients
- 1 lb sweet potato
- 1 ½ Tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt or to taste, fine sea salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper or to taste, ground
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp paprika ground
Instructions
- Prep the Potatoes - the sweet potatoes into ¼-inch-thick slices, making sure they are all uniform in size for even cooking.
- Drizzle Oil - Add the fries to a large mixing bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and toss to combine.
- Season - In a separate dish, combine the salt, pepper, garlic, and paprika. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the potatoes and toss to combine.
- Air Fry - Transfer the fries to an air fryer basket and cook in a basket-style air fryer at 375°F for about 12-14 minutes or a toaster-style air fryer at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway. Air fry until golden brown and crisp on the outside. Timing may vary depending on the air fryer style you have.
- Serve - Garnish with cilantro or grated parmesan if desired and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days after cooling completely.
- For freezing, spread cooled fries on a baking sheet to flash freeze before transferring to a sealed container or bag.
- Reheat fries in the air fryer to regain crispness and warmth rather than using a microwave.
