Instructions

  1. Place the cut sweet potato fries in a bowl of cold water and soak for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat completely dry with a clean towel.

  2. In a dry bowl, toss the fries with 1 tablespoon cornstarch until lightly coated. Add 1½ tablespoons olive oil, ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper and toss again.

  3. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F. Arrange half the fries in a single layer with a little space between them and air fry for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until crispy and browned at the edges. Repeat with the remaining fries.

  4. Let the sweet potato fries sit in the basket for 2 minutes to crisp up, then sprinkle with a pinch more salt and serve hot.

Tips

Cutting the fries the same thickness is the key to even cooking. Don't overcrowd the basket; fries need air around them to crisp. No air fryer? Bake on a parchment-lined sheet at 425°F for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway.

Storage

Store leftover sweet potato fries in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and re-crisp in the air fryer at 400°F for 3 to 4 minutes.

Serving suggestions

Serve air fryer sweet potato fries with burgers, sandwiches, or grilled chicken, and a dip like chipotle mayo, honey mustard, or ketchup.
