Air Fried Sweet Potato Fries

Ingredients

Sweet Potatoes - You can use the regular orange ones, or the purple variety. Grab a firm sweet potato that hasn't sprouted for the best results.
Avocado Oil - A bit of veggie oil - I use avocado because of the high smoke point - is essential to a good air fried sweet potato fry.
Seasonings - This recipe uses the classic salt and pepper combo, but below I list some other seasoning ideas that are crave-worthy.

Variations and Substitutions

Sweet Instead of Savory Sweet Potato Fries: Try these with a mix of cinnamon and sugar for a real treat!

Garlic-Parmesan Sweet Potato Fries: Grated parmesan, freshly chopped parsley, and garlic powder make these sweet potato fries restaurant-quality.

Dipping Sauce Ideas: Ketchup is an obvious classic, but try garlic aioli for a savory sweet potato fry, or a vanilla bean icing for the sweeter variations.

How to Make Air Fried Sweet Potato Fries

A chunk of sweet potato cut into a fry shape.

Step 1: Start out by cleaning the skin of your sweet potatoes with a bristle vegetable brush. If you prefer, peel the skin off. I leave it on for extra nutrients.

Chop the sweet potatoes into fry-shaped sticks and add them to a large bowl.

Step 3: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F.

Cook the fries for 15-18 minutes, flipping occasionally to avoid burning.

Recipe Pro Tip

Don't overcrowd. Add your fries to the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may have to do multiple batches!
