Air fryer Sweet Potato Fries is a faster and simpler way of cooking this delicious side or snacking recipe.

We love this version of our fries because it is not soaked in oil unlike when we deep fry it. Thanks to our handy and easy to clean air fryer.  It makes cooking easy and tasty just like this air fryer chicken tenders.

This style of cooking sweet potatoes is a welcome variation of the usually sugar-loaded deep fried sweet potatoes that we usually have.

Food Items You Need

There is only 1 main ingredient which is the sweet potato of course. The rest are just seasonings and a bit of oil.

  • 3 pieces medium-sized Sweet Potatoes – We have ours given by my brother.  I would have preferred the orange colored sweet potato but we have the yellow available so I just made use of them.  They are delicious as well.
  • Salt, Ground Pepper, Garlic Powder and Paprika – These are seasonings that make this sweet potato fries flavorful.
  • Olive oil.  My loves and I prefer ours sprinkled and coated with this oil.

How to Make Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries

Start by preparing the Sweet Potatoes. Peel the skin and slice the potatoes lengthwise, about half centimeter thin. Have a uniform size and/or thickness of the sweet potatoes so that they will cook evenly.

Sprinkle the sliced sweet potatoes with olive oil.  Have them coated with the oil by just using your hands.

Then sprinkle them with salt, ground pepper, garlic powder and paprika. Make sure they are well-coated with these seasonings.

Now you are ready to cook your fries.  Arrange the seasoned sweet potatoes in the air fryer basket.  Set the temperature at 200 degree Celsius (392 F) and cook for 10 minutes.  Transfer to a serving plate once done and enjoy.

Tips when Making Sweet Potato Fries in the Air Fryer

  • Slice your potatoes in uniform sizes so that they will cook evenly in the air fryer.
  • You may shake the air fryer halfway while you are cooking.
  • If you prefer no oil in cooking your sweet potato fries, you may do so.  However, you will get a different texture.  It has a drier result compared to the one with oil.  However, it remains tasty as well.  We tried it in one of the batches when we cook ours. My loves verdict is that they prefer the one with the olive oil.
  • Do not overcrowd your air fryer.  You may cook your sweet potato fries in batches just like we did.
