Why You’ll Love These Sweet Potato Fries

There’s something undeniably appealing about sweet potato fries. They’re sweet yet savory, crispy on the outside yet soft on the inside. When cooked in an air fryer, they become even more irresistible. Here’s why you’ll fall in love with this recipe:

• Quick and Easy: With a prep time of just 8 minutes, you’ll have these fries ready in no time.
• Healthy: Using an air fryer requires less oil, cutting down on calories and fat.
• Versatile: Pair them with your favorite dips, or enjoy them as a side dish to any meal.
• Flavorful: The combination of garlic powder and paprika (if you choose to add it) takes the flavor to the next level.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 Medium Sweet Potato: Cut lengthwise into ¼ inch thickness. Peeling is optional.
• 1 Teaspoon Olive Oil: Just enough to coat the fries and help them crisp up.
• 1.5 Teaspoon Garlic Powder: Adds a delightful aromatic flavor.
• 1-1 ½ Teaspoon Salt: Adjust to taste.
• 1 Teaspoon Paprika: Optional, for a spicy kick and extra color.

Step-by-Step Directions

Preparing the Sweet Potatoes

1. Slice the Sweet Potato: Start by cutting off the ends of the sweet potato. Slice it lengthwise into 3-4 parts, each about ¼ inch thick. Then, cut each piece into fry-shaped sticks, making sure they’re all about the same size for even cooking.

2. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 190C/375F. If your model has a preheat function, use it. Otherwise, let it run for about 3 minutes to warm up.

Season and Cook

3. Season the Fries: In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and paprika. Add the sweet potato sticks and toss until they’re well coated in the seasoning.

4. Cook in the Air Fryer: Place the seasoned fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 11-12 minutes at 190C/375F, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Serve and Enjoy

5. Serve Immediately: These fries are best enjoyed hot and crisp, straight from the air fryer. Serve them with ketchup or your favorite dip.
