    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    • No deep frying required! This is a healthier option with less oil.
    • These sweet potato fries are a blank canvas for you to get creative with your seasonings.
    • They are the perfect sidekick to your main course.

    Ingredients You'll Need

    Labeled ingredients for the sweet potato fries.
    • Frozen Sweet Potato Fries: You can choose whether you want pre-cut frozen sweet potato fries, or peeling, cutting, and prepping fresh sweet potatoes.
    • Olive Oil: Used to coat the sweet potato fries before air frying.
    • Salt: Brings out the natural sweetness of the sweet potatoes.
    • Optional Seasonings: Play around with various spices and seasonings to add extra layers of flavor. Some popular options include paprika, garlic powder, cumin, or any other spices you like.

    Step-By-Step Instructions

    Steps to make the sweet potato fries.

    Step 1: Preheat the air fryer to 400 °F for about 5 minutes.

    Step 2: In a mixing bowl, add the sweet potato fries. Drizzle them with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and any desired seasonings. Toss well to coat the fries evenly.

    Step 3: Place the seasoned fries in the air fryer basket. If you want your fries to be crispy, you'll want to place them in a single layer. If necessary, cook them in multiple batches. If you prefer them softer, as a side dish, then a single layer is not necessary.

    Step 4: Cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are cooked through. Shake the basket or flip the fries halfway through the cooking time.

    Step 5: Once cooked, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute or two.

    Step 6: Serve immediately as a side dish or a snack. They go well with ketchup, aioli, or any preferred dipping sauce.

    NOTE: You can print the FULL recipe with all ingredients & detailed instructions below!

    Expert Tips

    • Make sure to preheat your air fryer before adding the fries. Preheating helps create a hotter cooking environment.
    • While you want to use some oil to coat the fries, don't go overboard. A little goes a long way.
    • Midway through the cooking process, shake the air fryer basket or flip the fries for even cooking.

    Variations

    • Sweet and Savory: Sprinkle a mixture of cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg over the sweet potato fries before air frying.
    • Spicy Kick: If you're a fan of heat, toss the fries in a mix of chili powder, cayenne pepper, and a dash of smoked paprika.
    • Herbs: Experiment with a medley of fresh or dried herbs like rosemary, thyme, or oregano. Toss the fries in the herbs along with olive oil before air frying.

    Storing & Freezing

    Storing: Let any leftovers cool down to room temperature. Transfer the cooled fries to an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag. Store in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.

    Freezing: If you have uncooked fries that you want to freeze for later, transfer them to a freezer safe bag. They can last in the freezer for about 6 to 8 months.

    Reheating: Preheat the air fryer to 400 °F. Place the sweet potato fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for about 5 to 8 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the fries halfway through.

    Recipe FAQ's

    Can I use fresh sweet potatoes instead of frozen ones?

    Absolutely! You can use fresh sweet potatoes if you prefer. Just peel and cut them into evenly sized fries before proceeding with the recipe.

    Can I use other types of oil instead of olive oil?

    Yes! Olive oil adds a nice flavor, but you can use other oils like vegetable oil, canola oil, or avocado oil. Just make sure to choose an oil with a high smoke point to prevent it from burning in the air fryer.

    Are air fried sweet potato fries healthier than deep fried ones?

    Yes, air fried sweet potato fries are generally healthier than deep fried ones. Air frying uses much less oil compared to deep frying, resulting in fewer calories.
