Ingredients
2 medium sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Optional: 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper for extra heat
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin, even fries (about 1/4-inch thickness).
- Toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
- Place the fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded.
- Air fry the fries at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even crisping.
- Once the fries are golden and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a sweet and spicy twist, drizzle honey or maple syrup and add chili flakes.
- Try seasoning with dried herbs like thyme, rosemary, or oregano for a fragrant touch.
- Alternatively, cut the sweet potatoes into wedges for a chunkier fry option.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese after air frying.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated in the air fryer for 3-5 minutes at 400°F.
