Equipment

  • Air fryer

Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and sliced to 1/4" fries
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt or more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • cooking spray

optional garnish:

  • fresh parsley or other fresh herbs chopped
  • sprinkle of parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer to 375°.
  • Peel the potatoes and slice into 1/4 to 1/2″ approximately equal slices (the thinner the fries, the crispier they’ll be) then set aside.
  • In a large bowl combine olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika. Add fries turning until well coated (I use my hands).
  • Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray then transfer the fries to the air fryer in a mostly single layer (a little overlap is okay).
  • Air fry for 10-12 minutes total or until golden brown, pausing to give them a good shake at about the 6 minute mark.
  • Transfer from the air fryer to a plate or bowl, lightly sprinkle on salt and eat right away.
