How to make Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil offers a healthier fat profile while canola is budget-friendly.

cornstarch

🥗Healthier: arrowroot powder

💰Cheaper: potato starch

Arrowroot is a natural thickener, while potato starch is often less expensive.

paprika

🥗Healthier: smoked paprika

💰Cheaper: cayenne pepper

Smoked paprika adds depth, while cayenne is a more affordable spice.

fresh herbs

🥗Healthier: dried herbs

💰Cheaper: no herbs

Dried herbs are convenient and last longer, while omitting herbs reduces cost.

If your air fryer requires preheating, preheat it to 380°F.

Slice the sweet potatoes into even ¼ inch strips, or use a fry cutter if you have one.

In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with oil and season them with salt, black pepper and garlic powder.

Working in batches (depending on the size of your air fryer), place the fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not crowded or overlapping.

Air fry at 380°F for 10-13 minutes (or longer), flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown or until they've reached your desired crispness.

Transfer the fries to a serving platter and sprinkle them with coarse salt and chopped fresh parsley. Serve them with your desired dipping sauce(s) and enjoy!
