Step 1

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F.

Step 2

Wash and dry the sweet potatoes. Using a chef’s knife, cut them in ¼-inch wide pieces, then cut each piece into ¼-inch wide strips.

Step 3

To a large bowl or zip top plastic bag, add potato strips, oil, and spices. Massage the potatoes to ensure they are coated entirely.

Step 4

Arrange the fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving a bit of space between each. *See Notes. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time, to ensure even frying.

Step 5

The sweet potato fries should be crispy and cooked through. If not, fry for another 2 minutes. If fries are cut too thin or the ends are too narrow, they can get charred rather quickly.

Step 6

Once fried, season the warm fries with more salt if desired.
