Air Fryer sweet potato fries

 

Ingredients

• 2-3 Sweet Potatoes
• 2-3 Tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

1. Clean the sweet potatoes and pat them dry. Slice them into long and skinny french fry pieces about 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch wide. Thinner fries will be crispier.
2. Preheat the air fryer to 400 F.
3. Spray a little bit of olive oil on the air fryer basket to coat the bottom. This is separate from the 2-3 Tablespoons called for in the recipe.
4. Put the sweet potato pieces in a bowl. Drizzle them with the oil, then add the salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder. 
5. Toss everything so the fries are coated with the oil and seasonings.
6. Put the sweet potato fries in the air fryer basket, leaving room for the air to circulate. You might need to cook these in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer.
7. Cook at 400 F for 10 minutes. Halfway through take the basket out and shake it or flip the fries over.
8. After 10 minutes check the fries. They are done when they are wrinkled and just starting to get dark brown on the edges. 
9. If they need more time put them back in for another 1-5 minutes. The cooking time will depend on how thick the fries are and your air fryer's wattage.
10. Continue to cook another batch of fries. You can store the fries in a 220 F oven to keep them warm while you make more batches.

Notes

Switch up the seasoning for different flavors. Use 2 teaspoons of cinnamon for sweet fries or 2 teaspoons of chili powder for spicy fries. This way you can use one as a dessert and one as a side.
