Air fryer sweet potato fries are a healthier and tastier alternative to traditional deep-fried fries.

Air fryers work by circulating hot air around the food, which results in a crispy outer layer and a tender, fluffy interior. This makes them a perfect choice for cooking sweet potato fries, as they can achieve the same texture and flavor as deep-fried fries without all the unhealthy fat. In this article, we will explore the best recipes for air fryer sweet potato fries, providing you with a variety of options to suit your taste and preferences.

Categories     Appetizer     Snack     Side Dish

Time 8h15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 medium sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Scrub and peel sweet potatoes.
  • Cut sweet potatoes into evenly sized matchsticks. Make sure they are square on all six sides so they cook evenly, and cut them to a similar in length. Place sticks in refrigerator overnight to dry them out. Or if you're looking to make them faster, just dry off as much of the moisture as possible.
  • Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in a large bowl until sweet potatoes are completely coated.
  • Heat air fryer to 400 F for 8 minutes. Add sweet potato fries to preheated air fryer basket in one even layer. Do not overlap fries or they will not crisp properly.
  • Cook at 400 F for 8 to 10 minutes. Check after 8 minutes to see if they need to be cooked for longer. (Every air fryer is slightly different). Remove from air fryer and sprinkle with more salt, if needed. Keep warm in a 200 F oven while you prepare the next batch, or eat them right away. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as an aioli with garlic or pesto.
