Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 medium to large sweet potato
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and allow it to preheat for a few minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare the sweet potatoes: Cut the sweet potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4 equal wedges, yielding 8 wedges in total.
- Mix the spices: In a small bowl, whisk together chili powder, sea salt, black pepper, and ground cumin until evenly combined.
- Season the wedges: Sprinkle the spice mixture over the sweet potato wedges, then drizzle olive oil over them. Use tongs to toss and coat all wedges evenly with oil and spices.
- Cook the fries: Place the wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, then flip the wedges and cook for an additional 10 minutes or until they reach your desired crispness.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the fries from the air fryer, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite sauces or dips.
Notes
- Use a medium to large sweet potato for even cooking and consistent wedge sizes.
- If you prefer crispier fries, cook for an extra 2-3 minutes, checking frequently to avoid burning.
- You can substitute olive oil with avocado oil or another neutral oil if preferred.
- Try adding other spices like smoked paprika or garlic powder for extra flavor variation.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper airflow and crispiness.
