Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 medium to large sweet potato
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- fresh parsley for garnish if desired
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it is hot enough for cooking the fries evenly.
- Cut Sweet Potatoes: Cut the sweet potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4 equal wedges, making a total of 8 wedges to ensure even cooking.
- Season Fries: In a small bowl, whisk together chili powder, sea salt, black pepper, and cumin. Sprinkle this spice mixture evenly over the sweet potato wedges.
- Coat with Oil: Pour olive oil over the seasoned wedges and toss gently with tongs to coat the fries evenly with oil and spices.
- Cook Fries: Place the wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes. Flip the wedges for even crisping and cook for an additional 10 minutes or until desired crispness is achieved.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the fries from the air fryer, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces or condiments.
Notes
- Make sure the fries are evenly coated with oil for maximum crispiness.
- Flip the fries halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
- Using a larger sweet potato yields thicker wedges for a heartier fry.
- You can adjust the spice levels to suit your taste preference by adding more or less chili powder or cumin.
- For extra crispiness, do not overcrowd the air fryer basket.
- Fresh parsley adds a nice fresh flavor and can be omitted if not available.
