Ingredients

For the Fries

2 medium Sweet Potatoes Provides natural sweetness and a starchy base; medium-sized varieties are easier to slice.
1.5 tablespoons Oil Helps with crisping; substitute with any neutral oil like canola or vegetable.
1 teaspoon Onion Powder Adds savory depth; can swap with garlic powder.
1 teaspoon Paprika Contributes mild smokiness; use smoked paprika for deeper flavor.
Salt Essential for flavor; adjust to taste.
Pepper Essential for flavor; adjust to taste.

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
Wash two medium-sized sweet potatoes thoroughly and cut them into 1/4-inch-wide strips.
Drizzle 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil over the sweet potato strips and toss to coat.
Add 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper; toss again.
Arrange the seasoned sweet potato strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket and air fry for 15-20 minutes.
Check for doneness after 15 minutes; they should be crispy and lightly golden.
Serve immediately while hot, sprinkling additional salt to taste.
