Equipment
- Kitchen Tongs
Ingredients
- 2 sweet potatoes medium
- oil, for spraying the basket and sweet potatoes
- desired seasoning
Instructions
- Wash and peel 2 medium sweet potatoes.
- Cut into like size slices.
- Spray air fryer basket lightly with oil and fill with sweet potato slices spraying them lightly with oil as well. Making sure to leave room between for air to circulate.
- Cook at 400° F(205°C) for 8 minutes, flipping half way through. Once removed from the basket sprinkle them with desired seasoning.
- If cooking from store-bought frozen fries, cook at the same time and temperature. You may need to add 2-3 minutes to reach your desired crispiness.
Notes
- Cut into thin matchsticks, about a 1/4" thick. You can make them as thin or chunky as you like, but the thinner they are the crispier the end product will be. Cut them thicker if you like your fries with a soft middle and less crispiness.
- But keep in mind that cutting the fries thicker will change the cook time. It might take 10 minutes total to cook thicker fries. You can determine how much additional time is needed to trying one after the 8 minutes is up.
- Craving something sweet? Season the sweet potatoes with cinnamon, brown sugar, and maple syrup.
- You can peel or leave the peel on to the potato. It won’t affect it either way.
- If you find that the fries are burning lower the temperature and continue cooking.
- When spraying the potatoes and basket, make sure to use pure oil such as avocado, canola, or vegetable oil. Don’t use a non-stick cooking oil spray, as it has other additives that can disrupt the air fryer.
All air fryers have different wattage and may cook at different rates. You may need to adjust the time or temp for the best results.
