Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 medium to large sweet potato
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer. Set your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and allow it to heat up while you prepare the sweet potatoes.
- Cut the sweet potatoes. Slice the sweet potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4 equal wedges, yielding a total of 8 wedges.
- Season the wedges. In a small bowl, combine chili powder, sea salt, black pepper, and ground cumin. Sprinkle this spice mixture evenly over the sweet potato wedges.
- Toss with oil. Drizzle olive oil over the seasoned sweet potato wedges. Use tongs to toss them gently, ensuring each wedge is coated evenly with oil and spices.
- Cook the fries. Place the wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes. Then, flip the wedges and continue cooking for an additional 10 minutes or until the fries reach your desired crispness.
- Garnish and serve. Remove the fries from the air fryer, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite sauces or dips.
Notes
- Use a medium to large sweet potato for evenly sized wedges that cook uniformly.
- Adjust spices to your taste, adding more chili powder for extra heat or more cumin for earthiness.
- For crispier fries, make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket.
- Fresh parsley adds a nice touch of color and freshness but can be omitted if unavailable.
- Serve with ketchup, mayo, or your favorite dipping sauce for added flavor.
