Equipment

1 air fryer
1 Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

1 kg sweet potato orange variety
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Peel and rinse the sweet potato, then chop it into quarters. Slice the sweet potato into even 1cm (1/4-inch) thick pieces, then cut each piece in half lengthwise for 1cm (1/4-inch) thick fries.
Toss the fries in olive oil, then add the seasonings and toss again to coat them evenly.
Air Fryer at 200°C (400°F) for about 15 minutes in batches, depending on the size of the air fryer basket. Don't overcrowd the fries. Turn or shake the fries in the basket halfway through cooking.
Remove the fries from the air fryer and place them on a serving plate. Serve with your favourite dipping sauces. (We enjoy aioli and ketchup!)

Notes

Why are my sweet potato fries not getting crispy in the air fryer?

If the fries are overcrowded in the air fryer basket, there will not be enough space for the air to circulate around them to make them crispy. Cook these in 2-3 batches, depending on the size of your air fryer.

What kind of oil is best for air fryer sweet potato fries?
