Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries

The air fryer turns sweet potatoes into crispy-edged, fluffy-centered fries with just a teaspoon of oil. Smoky paprika and a hint of cinnamon play off the potato’s natural sweetness for a side that satisfies the fry craving at a fraction of the calories.

Ingredients

  • 12 oz sweet potato (about 1 large)
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp ketchup (optional, for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Cut sweet potato into 1/4-inch even sticks, leaving skin on for extra fiber.
  2. Soak fries in cold water for 15 minutes, then pat completely dry.
  3. Toss fries with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
  5. Spread fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket, working in batches if needed.
  6. Air fry at 380°F (190°C) for 13-15 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes, until crisp and golden.
  7. Season with extra salt to taste and serve hot.

Tips

  • Soaking removes surface starch for crispier fries - don’t skip it.
  • Do not overlap fries; air flow is what creates crispiness.
  • Toss with 1 tsp cornstarch for an extra-crunchy exterior.
