Crispy and flavorful Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries made with simple spices and olive oil, perfectly cooked to a golden brown in the air fryer for a healthy and delicious snack or side dish.

Ingredients

Sweet Potato Fries

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 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 Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into thin, uniform strips to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  2. Season Fries: Place the sweet potato strips in a large bowl. Add olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, dry dill, and paprika. Toss everything together until the fries are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
  3. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes to ensure a hot cooking environment for crisp fries.
  4. Arrange Fries in Air Fryer: Divide the seasoned sweet potato strips into batches. Place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overcrowding, which helps achieve maximum crispiness.
  5. Cook Fries: Cook the fries for 12-15 minutes per batch, shaking or flipping them halfway through to promote even browning and crisping. The fries should come out crispy and golden brown.
  6. Repeat for Remaining Batches: Repeat the cooking process with the remaining sweet potato fries until all are cooked.
  7. Serve: Serve the sweet potato fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!

Notes

  • Cut sweet potato fries into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste or add your favorite spices like cayenne for heat or cinnamon for a sweeter twist.
  • For extra crispiness, soak cut fries in cold water for 30 minutes prior to drying and seasoning.
  • Serve immediately for best texture as fries may soften if left to sit.
