Ingredients
Sweet Potato Fries
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon high heat oil (such as avocado, grape seed, or coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
Instructions
- Prep: Peel the sweet potatoes to remove the skin and place them on a cutting board.
- Cut: Slice the sweet potatoes into uniform 1/4 inch thick pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Season: In a large bowl, combine the high heat oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss the sweet potato pieces in this mixture until they are well coated with the seasoning.
- Air Fry: Arrange the seasoned sweet potato fries in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook at 390°F (approx. 199°C) for 13 to 15 minutes, flipping them about halfway through the cooking time to achieve even browning. The fries are done when they are golden brown and tender.
- Serve: Remove the fries from the air fryer and enjoy immediately as a snack or side dish.
Notes
- Cutting fries uniformly ensures even cooking and crispiness.
- You can adjust seasoning quantities to taste, especially salt and pepper.
- For crispier fries, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary.
- Use oils with a high smoke point like avocado, grape seed, or coconut oil for best results.
- Flipping fries halfway helps achieve an even golden crust on all sides.
