Scale
Main Ingredients
- 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
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Cut Sweet Potato: Cut the sweet potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4 equal wedges, making a total of 8 wedges.
- Season Sweet Potatoes: In a bowl, whisk together chili powder, sea salt, black pepper, and ground cumin. Sprinkle this seasoning mix over the sweet potato wedges.
- Coat with Oil and Spices: Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the wedges and toss them gently with tongs to ensure each piece is evenly coated with oil and spices.
- Cook Sweet Potato Fries: Place the wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 10 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Flip the wedges carefully and continue cooking for an additional 10 minutes or until they reach your desired level of crispiness.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the fries from the air fryer, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite sauces or dips.
Notes
- Cut the sweet potatoes evenly to ensure uniform cooking and crispiness.
- Toss the fries halfway through cooking to promote even browning.
- Adjust seasoning according to taste preferences; add a pinch of smoked paprika for extra flavor.
- For crispier fries, soak the cut wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning and drying thoroughly.
- Serve immediately for best texture, as sweet potato fries can become soggy if left to sit.
