Air fryer sweet potato fries are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional deep-fried fries. Here’s a simple recipe for you to try:
Ingredients:
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized fries, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
- Season the Fries: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Make sure the fries are evenly coated with the seasonings.
- Transfer to the Air Fryer: Place the seasoned sweet potato fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding, ensuring they cook evenly.
- Air Fry the Fries: Cook the sweet potato fries in the preheated air fryer for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping. Cooking times may vary depending on your specific air fryer model and the thickness of your fries, so check for doneness.
- Serve: Once the sweet potato fries are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute. Serve immediately.
- Optional Dipping Sauce: Consider serving the sweet potato fries with a dipping sauce like garlic aioli, ketchup, or a yogurt-based dip for extra flavor.
Enjoy your delicious and crispy air fryer sweet potato fries!
