Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Fries
- 1 medium to large sweet potato
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Garnish
- Fresh parsley for garnish if desired
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the proper cooking temperature for crispy fries.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Cut the sweet potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4 equal wedges to make 8 wedges total, ensuring even cooking.
- Season Fries: In a small bowl, whisk together chili powder, sea salt, black pepper, and ground cumin. Sprinkle this seasoning mix evenly over the sweet potato wedges.
- Coat with Oil: Drizzle the olive oil over the seasoned wedges and toss with tongs to coat the fries evenly with oil and spices.
- Cook Fries: Place the wedges in a single layer in the preheated air fryer basket. Cook at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes, then flip the wedges and cook for an additional 10 minutes or until they reach your desired crispness.
- Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite sauces or dips for a delicious snack or side.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
- You can substitute paprika for chili powder if you prefer a milder flavor.
- Adjust cooking time slightly for thicker or thinner wedges to achieve perfect texture.
- Use a high smoke point oil like avocado or canola if preferred instead of olive oil.
- Leftover fries can be reheated in the air fryer for best results instead of microwave.
