Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries
The crispy, golden answer to “what’s for snack?” Sweet, salty, and just a little addictive — like the best kind of trouble.
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and cut into thin fries
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- Optional dip: chipotle mayo aioli, or ketchup
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss sweet potato fries in olive oil until coated.
- Sprinkle with cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; toss again until evenly coated.
- Arrange fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket (work in batches if needed).
- Cook for 12-15 minutes, shaking halfway through, until crisp and golden.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
