Remember those nights when you crave crispy french fries but all you have is a sweet potato and an air fryer? Well, that’s not a problem! Because air-fried sweet potato fries are about to become your new favorite healthy and straightforward side dish ( Absolutely delicious when paired with Sonic Signature Sauce ).
I used to be a bit intimidated by sweet potatoes. Roasting them in the oven always felt like a gamble – would they be perfectly tender? Or would they end up dry and sad? But the air fryer changed everything! Now, I can whip up a batch of perfectly crispy sweet potato fries in under 20 minutes. They're seriously life-changing!
This sweet potato fries air fryer recipe is a fantastic base for all kinds of flavor adventures. Want them sweet? Drizzle with maple syrup and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Craving something savory? Opt for a sprinkle of paprika, garlic powder, and a squeeze of fresh lemon. The possibilities are endless!

For 2-3 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 large sweet potato
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Steps:
- Prep your sweet potato: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Wash and scrub your sweet potato, then cut it into even-sized fries. Aim for a thickness of about ½ inch.
- Season it up: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure everything is evenly coated!
- Air fry to crispy perfection: Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer in your air fryer basket (don't overcrowd!). Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don't burn.
- Serve and enjoy the sweet potato fries air fryer! Let your air fryer fries cool slightly before devouring. They're perfect on their own or dipped in your favorite sauce.
Notes:
- For extra crispy fries, double-fry them! After the initial air fry, let them cool completely, then air fry them again for a few more minutes.
- Feel free to experiment with different seasonings! Some other delicious options include cayenne pepper for a kick, cumin for a smoky flavor, or nutritional yeast for a cheesy taste.
