Prep: 15 min · Cook: 20 min · Yield: 4 · Method: Air Fryer

Ingredients

• 2 large sweet potatoes
• 1.5 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.75 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Cooking instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes. Scrub the sweet potatoes, peel them if desired, and cut them into even 1/4-inch-thick fries. (about 5 min) — 400°F
2. Pat the fries very dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss them with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. (about 5 min)
3. Arrange one batch of fries in a single, uncrowded layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. (about 10 min) — 400°F
4. Continue cooking for 3 to 5 minutes, shaking once more, until the edges are browned and crisp and the centers are tender when pierced. Repeat with the remaining fries. (about 5 min) — 400°F
5. Serve immediately; sweet potato fries soften as they stand.
