Ingredients You’ll Need For This Recipe:
Yield: About 4 servings
Total Time: 30-35 minutes
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 12-15 minutes per batch
Ingredients:
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon dry dill
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Step-by-step Guide:
1 – Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into thin, uniform strips.
2 – Place the sweet potato strips in a large bowl and add the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, dry dill and paprika.
Toss until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated.
3 – Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
4 – Divide the seasoned sweet potato strips into batches and place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer, without overcrowding.
5 – Cook the sweet potato fries in the air fryer for 12-15 minutes per batch, shaking or flipping halfway through cooking, until they are crispy and golden brown.
6 – Repeat with the remaining batches of sweet potato fries.
7 – Serve the sweet potato fries hot, with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
Pro Tips for Success:
- Don’t overcrowd the basket: Make sure to cook the fries in batches. If you overcrowd the air fryer, the fries won’t crisp up properly.
- Use a light hand with oil: You don’t need to drench the fries in oil. Just enough to coat them evenly will give them that crispy texture without being greasy.
- Experiment with seasonings: Swap out the dill for a pinch of cinnamon for a sweeter twist, or add a bit of cayenne pepper for some heat to really make your fries pop!
These air fryer sweet potato fries are not only fast and easy, but they’re also healthier than deep-fried versions.
They’re perfect for serving at your next tailgate, BBQ, or picnic.
Dip them in ketchup, ranch, or even a spicy aioli for the ultimate snacking experience!
