Crispy and flavorful Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries made with a blend of aromatic spices and olive oil. These fries are a healthier alternative to traditional fried potato fries, easy to prepare, and perfect as a snack or side dish.

Ingredients

Sweet Potatoes

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes

Seasonings and Oil

  • 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry dill
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sweet potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into thin, uniform strips to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  2. Season the fries: Place the sweet potato strips in a large bowl and add the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, dry dill, and paprika. Toss thoroughly until all fries are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
  3. Preheat the air fryer: Set the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes to ensure optimal cooking temperature.
  4. Arrange the fries: Divide the seasoned sweet potato strips into batches and place each batch in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to allow hot air circulation and crisping.
  5. Cook the fries: Air fry each batch for 12-15 minutes, shaking or flipping the fries halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning and crispiness.
  6. Repeat if necessary: Repeat the air frying process with the remaining fries in batches.
  7. Serve: Once cooked and golden brown, serve the sweet potato fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, soak the cut sweet potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning, then pat dry thoroughly.
  • Adjust seasoning quantities according to taste preferences or try substituting spices like cayenne for a spicy kick.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure fries cook evenly and become crispy.
  • Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the air fryer model used.
  • Sweet potatoes can be cut thicker or thinner based on how crispy or soft you prefer your fries.
