To create delicious sweet potato fries in an air fryer, start by selecting firm, fresh sweet potatoes. Begin by washing and peeling the potatoes, then slice them into thin, even strips to ensure uniform cooking. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato strips with a drizzle of olive oil, ensuring they are coated well. You can also add a sprinkle of salt, pepper, and your preferred spices, such as paprika or garlic powder, for extra flavour.

Preheat your air fryer to around 200 degrees Celsius. Place the seasoned sweet potato fries in the fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd it; this allows for proper air circulation and crisping. Cook the fries for approximately 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even cooking. Keep an eye on them towards the end, as cooking times can vary based on the thickness of the fries and the model of your air fryer.

Once the fries are golden and crispy, remove them from the basket and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade sweet potato fries as a delightful snack or side dish, perfect alongside a dip of your choice!
