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