About Air Fryer Sweeet Potato Fries
Well, it is not that I have always liked sweet potatoes. Initially, I found it too sweet for my taste. But I knew the nutritional value of sweet potatoes, so I kept trying to make sweet potato recipes with different spices. And I found that if sweet potatoes are paired with the right amount of spices and herbs, they taste super delicious. Sweet potatoes have many health benefits, and they are highly nutritious. They are rich in fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. So it is better to include these root vegetables in our diet. Also, sweet potatoes come in various sizes and colors, including orange, purple, and white. My personal favorite is orange sweet potatoes. I have already posted Roasted Sweet Potatoes (Indian-Spiced), and now it is time for sweet potato fries. Initially, I used to make sweet potato fries in the oven, but after using an air fryer, I found this recipe quicker and easier. Also, air fryer sweet fries are perfectly crispy outside with a tender interior, and ready within less than 15 minutes.
Ingredients
How To Make Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into even sticks about ¼-inch thick.
Transfer the sweet potato strips to the large mixing bowl.
Add oil, salt, black pepper, and red chili powder (or paprika) and toss well.
Place the sweet potato sticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook the fries in two batches. For the crispy fries, it is essential to place sweet potatoes in a single layer and not overcrowd them.
Cook the fries for 12-14 minutes, turning halfway. The time may vary based on your air fryer.
Transfer the sweet potato fries to a serving plate, garnish with cilantro if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Storing and Reheating Suggestions
Store the leftover fries in an air-tight container and refrigerate for three days. Reheat the fries either in the air fryer or oven. Rewarm fries in the air fryer at 380°F for 2-3 minutes or until they are heated through. Or reheat in the oven at 400°F until the fries are heated through.
