Step 1

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes.

Step 2

Wash the sweet potatoes and cut them into wedges. Try to make them as uniform in size as possible, so they cook evenly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Toss the sweet potato wedges in this seasoning mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Sprinkle on the cornstarch and toss.

Step 4

Place the seasoned sweet potato wedges in the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

Step 5

Cook for 18-20 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through the cooking time. The exact time will depend on the thickness of your wedges and the air fryer model. The wedges should be golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Step 6

Remove the sweet potato wedges from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. If desired, garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
