Ingredients

Main Ingredients

2 medium Sweet Potatoes Can substitute with other varieties like yam or butternut squash.
1 tablespoon Olive Oil Can substitute with avocado oil for a higher smoke point.
1 teaspoon Salt Use sea salt or kosher salt based on preference.
0.5 teaspoon Paprika Smoked paprika can be used for added flavor.
0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder Can be replaced with fresh minced garlic.
0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper Adjust to taste.

Method

Preparation

Peel and cut sweet potatoes into thin fries.
In a bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

Cooking

Place fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding.
Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
Once crispy and golden, serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Keep an eye on the fries during the last few minutes of cooking to avoid burning. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days and reheat in the air fryer for optimal texture.
