Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Fries
- 1 medium to large sweet potato
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for a crispy finish.
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Cut the sweet potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4 equal wedges, yielding 8 wedges total for even cooking.
- Mix the Seasonings: In a small bowl, whisk together chili powder, sea salt, black pepper, and ground cumin to combine the spices evenly.
- Coat the Wedges: Drizzle olive oil over the sweet potato wedges. Use tongs to toss the wedges thoroughly so the oil and seasoning mix coat all pieces evenly.
- First Cook Cycle: Place the wedges in the air fryer basket spaced out in a single layer and cook at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes to start the crisping process.
- Flip and Continue Cooking: After 10 minutes, flip the wedges to cook evenly on all sides. Continue cooking for another 10 minutes or until they reach your desired crispness.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the fries and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces or enjoy as is.
Notes
- Adjust cooking time based on the size and thickness of your sweet potato wedges.
- For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket — cook in batches if necessary.
- Try different seasoning blends like smoked paprika or garlic powder for variations.
- Serve with ketchup, aioli, or a spicy dipping sauce for extra flavor.
