Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Tongs

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large sweet potatoes peeled and cut into thin fries
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Optional: 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper for extra spice

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:
  • Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into even-sized fries, about 1/4 inch thick. Try to keep them uniform for even cooking.
  • Season the Fries:
  • In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add cayenne pepper if you like a bit of heat. Ensure the fries are evenly coated.
  • Preheat the Air Fryer:
  • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3–5 minutes.
  • Cook the Fries:
  • Arrange the sweet potato fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t overlap. Work in batches if needed.
  • Air fry for 12–15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even crisping. Cook until the fries are golden and crispy on the edges.
  • Serve:
  • Remove the fries from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, ranch, or a spicy aioli.
