Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 medium-sized firm sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized wedges to ensure uniform cooking and crispiness.
  2. Season the Wedges: In a large bowl, toss the wedges with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper if using. Ensure every wedge is coated evenly for maximum flavor and crispiness.
  3. Preheat and Arrange: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket to avoid overcrowding, which can cause sogginess.
  4. Air Fry to Perfection: Cook the wedges for 15–18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking and browning. Keep an eye on them towards the end for your desired crispiness.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove wedges from the air fryer, let them cool slightly, then serve hot with your favorite dips or garnishes for a tasty treat.

Notes

  • Dry your potatoes well with paper towels to remove excess moisture for extra crispiness.
  • Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure air circulation and even crisping on all sides.
  • Shake the basket every 7 to 8 minutes during cooking to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
  • Use medium-sized wedges for optimal cooking time and texture.
  • Experiment with seasonings such as herbs, extra spices, or sweet toppings to suit your taste.
