Bell pepper offers sweetness without heat.

Cut the sweet potatoes into wedge-sized pieces, leaving the skin on or peeling them as desired.

Toss the sweet potato wedges with cornstarch to coat them for crispiness.

Add olive oil, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika to the sweet potatoes and mix well.

Preheat the air fryer to 365°F.

Place the crisper plate inside the air fryer basket and add the sweet potatoes in an even layer.

Air fry the sweet potatoes at 365°F for 16 minutes, flipping halfway through.

While the sweet potatoes are cooking, prepare the cilantro lime crema in a food processor.

Add Crema Mexicana, fresh lime juice, lime zest, half a jalapeno, roughly chopped cilantro, salt, and a clove of garlic to the food processor.

Blend until well combined, scraping down the sides as needed.

Taste the crema and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Add salt to the crema last to prevent moisture loss.

Once the sweet potatoes are done, sprinkle with salt immediately after removing from the air fryer and toss to coat.

Plate the sweet potato wedges and serve with the cilantro lime crema.
