Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries
Description
These crispy air fryer sweet potato fries are super easy, just as tasty as fried, and made with only a few ingredients. Best side dish ever!
Ingredients
- 1 large or 2 small/medium sweet potatoes about 1 pound
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil*
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt plus additional for serving
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- Chopped fresh chives
Directions
- Scrub the sweet potatoes and peel if desired (I leave the peels on). Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise. Turn the halves cut-side down onto your cutting board, the slice each half lengthwise into 1/4-inch-wide strips (a mandoline is the best way to get even fries; watch your fingers!).
- Turn the strips on their sides and cut each into 1/4-inch sticks. If the sticks are long, slice them in half crosswise so that your fries are about 3 to 4 inches. Transfer the fries to a large mixing bowl.
- To keep the fries warm between batches, preheat the oven to 200°F and keep a baking sheet handy.
- Drizzle the sweet potato fries with the oil and sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Toss to coat, making sure the spices and oil are well distributed.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F according to the manufacturer’s instructions. (For my air fryer, that is 3 minutes of preheat time).
