Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1½ tbsp olive or avocado oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp cornstarch optional

Method
 

  1. Peel sweet potatoes and slice into even ¼-inch fries.
  2. Soak in cold water for 20–30 minutes (optional but helps crisp).
  3. Pat completely dry with paper towels.
  4. Toss fries with oil, seasoning, and cornstarch.
  5. Preheat air fryer to 380°F.
  6. Air fry in a single layer for 12–15 minutes, shaking halfway.
  7. Remove once crispy and lightly blistered. Add extra salt if desired.

Notes

  • Don’t crowd the air fryer—work in batches for best results.
  • Add cornstarch if you want extra crispiness.
  • Use avocado oil for higher heat and a cleaner flavor.
  • Thinner slices cook faster and crisp better.
