This recipe for Air-Fryer Sweet Potato Fries offers a healthier and easy way to enjoy crispy, flavorful fries using an air fryer. The sweet potatoes are coated with olive oil and paprika, then cooked to tender perfection with crispy edges, making them a perfect snack or side dish.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 small sweet potato (about 8 ounces), peeled
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons ground paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Ketchup or mustard (optional), for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Heat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit if your model recommends preheating to ensure even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Cut the sweet potato in half lengthwise. Place each half flat side down and slice into ¼-inch thick planks. Then cut those planks lengthwise into ¼-inch thick strips to create fries. Toss these in a large bowl with olive oil and ground paprika until fully coated. Sprinkle generously with salt.
  3. Arrange in Air Fryer: Transfer the fries to the air fryer basket, piling them loosely to create height which helps maintain airflow for even crisping. Avoid overcrowding to prevent steaming.
  4. Cook and Toss: Cook the fries for 5 minutes initially. Use tongs to toss them gently, then continue cooking for an additional 10 to 12 minutes. Toss once halfway through this cooking time. The fries are done when tender inside with darkened, crisped tips.
  5. Serve: Transfer fries to a serving dish, add additional salt to taste, and serve immediately with ketchup or mustard if desired.

Notes

  • Cutting the fries evenly ensures uniform cooking and crisping.
  • Air fryer models vary; check fries frequently to prevent burning.
  • For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the basket and shake or toss fries midway through cooking.
  • Optional seasonings like garlic powder or cayenne pepper can be added for extra flavor.
  • Serve immediately for best texture, as fries may soften if they sit too long.
