Main Ingredients
- 1 medium to large sweet potato
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it is hot and ready for cooking the sweet potato wedges.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Cut the sweet potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4 equal wedges, resulting in a total of 8 wedges.
- Season Wedges: In a small bowl, whisk together chili powder, sea salt, black pepper, and ground cumin. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the sweet potato wedges.
- Coat with Olive Oil: Drizzle olive oil over the seasoned wedges and toss them gently with tongs to coat the wedges evenly with oil and spices.
- Cook Wedges: Place the wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, flip the wedges and cook for an additional 10 minutes or until they reach your desired crispness.
- Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, garnish the wedges with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite sauces or dips like ketchup, sour cream, aioli, or Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
Notes
- Use a sharp, non-slip knife and cutting board to safely cut the sweet potatoes.
- Pat the sweet potato wedges dry with a paper towel before seasoning to avoid soggy texture.
- These wedges have moderate crispiness; adjust air fryer timing to achieve preferred crispness.
- Serve immediately for best texture, or keep warm in a 200-degree oven if needed.
- Store leftover wedges in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
- Do not freeze cooked sweet potato fries as texture may deteriorate.
- Reheat leftovers in the air fryer for 5-10 minutes to regain crispiness; microwaving is possible but will result in a softer texture.
