Equipment
- 1 Air fryer
- 1 Knife and Cutting Board
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer by setting it to 380°F (190°C) and allowing it to preheat for about 5 minutes.
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes by washing, peeling, and cutting them into evenly sized fry shapes, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
- Season the Fries by tossing them in a large mixing bowl with olive oil until evenly coated.
- Optionally, sprinkle cornstarch over the fries and toss again to coat for extra crispiness.
- Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to the bowl, tossing until the fries are well-seasoned.
- Arrange the seasoned sweet potato fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Cook the Fries at 380°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness.
- Keep an eye on the fries towards the end of the cooking time to prevent them from burning.
- Once golden brown and crispy, remove the fries from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving plate.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, aioli, or sriracha mayo.
Notes
- Crispy Texture - Spread fries evenly in the air fryer basket to promote even cooking and achieve crispiness.
- Adjusting Thickness - Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of the fries for optimal results.
- Flavor Variations - Experiment with different seasonings and spices to customize the flavor profile of your fries.
