Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potato Wedges

  • 6 small sweet potatoes (washed and cut into wedges)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Garnish (Optional)

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes to ensure it is hot and ready for cooking.
  2. Prepare Sweet Potato Wedges: Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and cut them into uniform wedges to ensure even cooking.
  3. Season the Wedges: In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Toss the sweet potato wedges in this mixture until they are fully coated. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the wedges and toss again to evenly distribute for added crispiness.
  4. Arrange in Air Fryer Basket: Place the seasoned sweet potato wedges in a single layer inside the preheated air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding; cook in batches if necessary.
  5. Air Fry the Wedges: Cook for 18-20 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through cooking to ensure even browning. The wedges should come out crispy on the outside and tender inside.
  6. Finish and Serve: Remove wedges from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired before serving.

Notes

  • Cut wedges uniformly for even cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to maintain crispiness.
  • Cooking time may vary depending on wedge thickness and air fryer model.
  • Cornstarch helps make the wedges crispier; do not skip it.
  • Garnish with parsley for a fresh herbal touch.
