Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potato Fries

  • 23 large sweet potatoes (about 2 lbs.)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • ¼ tsp chili powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes completely, then cut them into even French fry-shaped pieces for uniform cooking.
  2. Season the Fries: Place the cut fries in a bowl and toss them thoroughly with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika, pepper, and optional chili powder until well coated.
  3. Arrange in Air Fryer: Spread one batch of seasoned fries in a single, even layer inside the air fryer basket to ensure proper air circulation and crispiness.
  4. Air Fry: Cook the fries at 375°F (190°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning and crisping.
  5. Repeat and Finish: Remove the cooked fries, then place the remaining batch(s) in the air fryer and repeat the cooking process.
  6. Serve: Once all fries are cooked to golden brown and crispy, serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce for a delicious snack or side dish.

Notes

  • For best results, cut fries into uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.
  • Shake the basket halfway through cooking to prevent sticking and promote crispiness.
  • You can add other seasonings like cayenne or smoked paprika for an extra kick.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture; fries will crisp up less if left to sit.
