Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon oil use any high-smoke-point oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin fries, approximately ¼-inch thick.
  • Place the sweet potato in cold water for 15-20 minutes. This helps remove the excess starch. Drain all the water and pat dry the sweet potatoes using paper towels.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 380℉ for 4-5 minutes.
  • Transfer them to a large bowl and add oil, salt, and pepper. Toss well to ensure all the fries are evenly coated.
  • Carefully transfer the seasoned sweet potato fries to the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  • Cook the fries in the air fryer at 380℉ for 18-20 minutes, shaking the basket every 5-7 minutes. The sweet potato fries should be crispy and golden brown.
  • Once cooked, remove the sweet potato fries from the air fryer and sprinkle some sea salt. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness and desired crispness of the sweet potato fries. Thicker fries may need a few extra minutes.
  • To achieve a crispier texture, soak the cut fries in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking. This removes excess starch and helps them crisp up better.
  • These sweet potato fries are best enjoyed immediately after cooking for optimal crispiness. Reheating may result in softer fries.
  • Feel free to add additional seasonings or spices according to your taste preferences. Try smoked paprika, garlic powder, or a pinch of cayenne for extra flavor.
