Sweet Potato Fries
- 1 lb sweet potatoes
- 1 ½ Tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp fine sea salt (or to taste)
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper (or to taste)
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp ground paprika
- Prep the Potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes if desired and cut them into ¼-inch-thick slices, ensuring all pieces are uniform in size to promote even cooking in the air fryer.
- Drizzle Oil: Place the sweet potato slices into a large mixing bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and toss thoroughly to coat each piece evenly with oil.
- Season: In a small dish, mix together the fine sea salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and ground paprika. Sprinkle this seasoning over the fries and toss again to ensure all fries are well coated with the seasoning blend.
- Air Fry: Transfer the seasoned fries to an air fryer basket in a single layer. For basket-style air fryers, cook at 375°F for 12-14 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking. For toaster-style air fryers, cook at 350°F for 8-10 minutes. Fry until the fries are crisp and golden brown on the outside.
- Serve: Optionally garnish with chopped cilantro or grated parmesan cheese. Serve immediately while hot and crisp, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Cut fries into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
- Adjust seasoning quantities to your taste preference.
- Shaking the basket halfway through cooking helps achieve uniform crispiness.
- Cooking times may vary depending on the specific model and style of your air fryer.
- Sweet potatoes can be peeled or left unpeeled based on preference.
