Crispy Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries
Save Recipe

These sweet potato fries cook quickly in the air fryer and are ready in 20 minutes or less.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sweet potato (about 12 ounces by weight)
  • 2 teaspoons arrowroot starch (cornstarch or tapioca should work too)
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (Tastewise)
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (Tastewise)
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (Tastewise)

Instructions

  1. Peel the sweet potato and cut it into fries about 1/4 inch thick. The thinner the fries, the faster and crispier they will cook.
  2. Place the fries in a large bowl, then mix well with the arrowroot starch. This will help the fries become a bit more robust and crisp.
  3. Preheat the fryer to 360 ° F. While preheating (mine takes about 3 minutes), toss the fries with the olive oil, coating well, then add the rest of the seasoning and stir again, to make sure all the fries are well seasoned.
  4. You will likely need to cook the fries in batches so they can be in a single layer in the fryer basket, so place half of the fries in a single layer, then bake at 360 ° F for 10 minutes. I like to stop at 8 minutes and shake the basket, flip the fries, and make sure they cook evenly. (These instructions are for a 1700 watt air fryer. If you are using a 1500 watt air fryer, you may need to add 2 minutes to the cook time, and a 900 watt air fryer will take almost twice as long kitchen, so be sure to check your machine).
  5. When the fries are golden on the outside and tender on the inside, they are ready to serve. Reserve the cooked fries and cook the rest of the batch as above.
  6. When all the fries are done, you can reheat the fries you made earlier by cooking them all together for an additional 1 minute at 360 ° F. This ensures that you serve a full batch of hot fries. Serve hot immediately as they will get sweeter as they cool.
