Ingredients List

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into thin fries
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch for extra crisp

Instructions

Step-by-Step Directions

  1. Prep the Sweet Potatoes
    Wash, peel (optional), and cut into 1/4-inch thick fries.
  2. Soak in Water
    Soak the fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes. Drain and pat completely dry.
  3. Season the Fries
    In a bowl, toss the fries with olive oil and seasonings. Optionally, add cornstarch for extra crisp.
  4. Preheat the Air Fryer
    Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat for 3–5 minutes.
  5. Cook in Batches
    Arrange fries in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding.
  6. Air Fry the Fries
    Cook for 12–15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Add 2–3 more minutes if needed for extra crispness.
  7. Cool Slightly Before Serving
    Let fries sit for 2–3 minutes to firm up their crisp.
