Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Wedges
- 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 ready to cook the wedges evenly and achieve a crispy texture.
- Prepare Sweet Potato Wedges. Cut the sweet potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4 equal wedges to make a total of 8 wedges.
- Season Wedges. In a small bowl, whisk together chili powder, sea salt, black pepper, and ground cumin. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the sweet potato wedges.
- Coat with Oil. Drizzle olive oil over the wedges and toss gently with tongs to coat each wedge evenly with oil and spices.
- Cook the Wedges. Place the wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes.
- Flip and Continue Cooking. Flip the wedges carefully to ensure even cooking. Cook for an additional 10 minutes or until they reach your desired crispness.
- Garnish and Serve. Remove the wedges from the air fryer, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite sauces or dips.
Notes
- To Store: Leftovers can be stored for 2-3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- To Freeze: Do not freeze cooked sweet potato fries as texture will be compromised.
- To Reheat: Reheat in the air fryer for 5-10 minutes for best crispness. Microwaving is possible but will result in less crispy wedges.
- Be cautious while cutting sweet potatoes; use a sharp knife and a non-slip cutting board for safety.
- Dry sweet potatoes thoroughly with a paper towel before seasoning to prevent sogginess.
- These wedges are crispier than roasted potatoes but not as crisp as traditional fries. Adjust air fryer time to your preference.
- Offer condiments like ketchup, sour cream, aioli, or Greek yogurt for dipping.
- Serve wedges immediately for best texture; if necessary, keep warm in a 200-degree Fahrenheit oven or reheat in the air fryer.
