Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and peel the skin off using a peeler.

Cut off the ends of the sweet potatoes for evenness.

Cut the sweet potatoes in half for size, then slice into fries about half an inch thick.

Transfer the cut fries into a bowl.

Add olive oil to the bowl with the fries.

Add about a teaspoon of garlic powder, onion powder, and a crack or two of black pepper.

Add a bit of rosemary to the bowl, being careful not to add too much as it's strong.

Toss the fries well to ensure the seasonings stick to them with the help of the olive oil.

Place the fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket.

Set the air fryer to 390°F and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.

While the fries are cooking, prepare the garlic truffle aioli by zesting a lemon, avoiding the white part.

In a bowl, add about 3 to 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise.

Add about a teaspoon of white truffle oil to the mayonnaise.

Add the lemon zest and the juice of a quarter of a lemon (about a tablespoon).

Add a pinch of salt, a little bit of pepper, and a garlic clove to the mayonnaise mixture.

Mix the aioli well until combined.

After about 9 minutes of cooking, check the fries and turn them for even cooking.

Return the fries to the air fryer for a few more minutes until they are crispy and golden brown.
