Peel the sweet potatoes.

Slice the sweet potatoes into small fry shapes, ensuring they are evenly cut for even cooking.

Add avocado oil to the sweet potato fries.

Add seasonings: chili powder, toasted onion, and smoked cherry wood sea salt to the fries and stir to coat evenly.

Place the sweet potato fries into the air fryer basket in a single layer, allowing some overlap.

Set the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and cook for 15 minutes.

While the fries are cooking, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing sour cream, mayonnaise (less than sour cream), and sriracha in a bowl until creamy.

Stir the fries halfway through cooking for even cooking.

If you prefer your fries crispier, cook for an additional 2-5 minutes depending on the thickness of the fries.

Once done, serve the fries with the dipping sauce.
