Delicious and crispy Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries, a healthy alternative to traditional fries, perfect for snacking or as a side dish.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into thin strips (about 400g)
- 2 tbsp olive oil for coating the fries
- 1 tsp sea salt for seasoning
- 1 tsp paprika for seasoning, adds smokiness
- ½ tsp black pepper for seasoning
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin strips for uniform cooking.
- Place sweet potato strips in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil, coating them evenly.
- Season the fries with sea salt, paprika, and black pepper, then mix well.
Cooking
- Place the seasoned sweet potato strips in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Cook the fries for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Check for doneness; fries should be golden and crispy. Add extra cooking time if necessary.
Serving
- Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauces such as ketchup or avocado dip.
Notes
For extra crispiness, soak sweet potato strips in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking, drying them thoroughly afterward. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer for best results.
