Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp paprika
- kosher salt
Instructions
- Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into fries. Toss with the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika and a very generous amount of salt until they are well coated.
- Air fry for 25-30 minutes at 355F, tossing regularly to make sure the fries cook and crisp evenly.
Notes
- Avoid stacking! Fries need space for air to circulate, so cook in batches if needed. Overcrowding leads to steaming instead of crisping.
- Cut evenly for best results. Thin fries will crisp faster, thicker fries will be softer inside. Just try to keep them uniform so they finish cooking at the same time.
- Pat dry with paper towels before seasoning.
- For extra crispy sweet potato fries, toss the cut fries with 1–2 teaspoons of cornstarch before adding oil and seasoning.
- Toss halfway through the cooking process to make sure you are getting them crispy on all sides.
- Salt at the end if needed. Sweet potatoes can handle more salt than you think, just taste them first before adding additional salt at the end!
