Crispy and flavorful Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries are a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional fries. Coated with olive oil and seasoned with garlic powder, paprika, dill, salt, and pepper, these fries are perfectly cooked in the air fryer to achieve a golden, crunchy texture without deep frying.
Ingredients
Sweet Potato Fries
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2-3 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp dry dill
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into thin, uniform strips to ensure even cooking.
- Season the Fries: Place the sweet potato strips in a large bowl and add the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, dry dill, and paprika. Toss everything together until the fries are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes; this step helps achieve crispier fries.
- Arrange the Fries in the Basket: Divide the seasoned sweet potato strips into batches and place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd for even cooking.
- Air Fry the Fries: Cook the fries for 12-15 minutes per batch, shaking or flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy and golden brown.
- Repeat for Remaining Batches: Continue cooking any remaining fries in batches following the same process.
- Serve: Serve the hot, crispy sweet potato fries immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
- Cutting the sweet potatoes into uniform sizes ensures even cooking and consistent crispiness.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow hot air to circulate properly for crisp fries.
- Shaking or flipping the fries halfway through cooking promotes even browning.
- Adjust seasoning to preference; you can add cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
- These fries are best served fresh but can be reheated in the air fryer to maintain crispiness.
