Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries

Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries are a lighter alternative to deep fried sweet potatoes side dish with less calories, less fat, & cooked in less than 15 minutes

If you recently got an air fryer and excited to try some recipes, these Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries are a great starting point!

You can also consider making regular Air Fryer Potatoes or Air Fryer Chicken – all great starter recipes. These potatoes are so versatile, tasty and pair well with main dishes for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I know you will love these crispy chips!

Making sweet potato fries (or chips for my non-American friends!) in the air fryer compared to deep frying and even compared to baking uses less oil. So you’ll end up consuming less fat and less calories. And they still have a slight crisp on the outside with a tender bite on the inside.

HOW TO CUT SWEET POTATO FRIES

Start with two medium size sweet potatoes and try to look for ones that are not too long. This way you can use the full length of the sweet potatoes as the length of the fry. Remember that these air fryer sweet potato fries will shrink after cooking, so look for a shape slightly longer than the ideal fry length.

Next, peel the sweet potatoes, and cut off the skinny ends. You can save those for a different recipe. Then cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise. This will make it easier to lay them flat on the a cutting board and start cutting into long slices.

The thinner you cut them, the more crispy they will be. I recommend that you cut them 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch thickness.

Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, cut into thin strips
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder / 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat air fryer to 400°. Combine all ingredients; toss to coat. Place on greased tray in air-fryer basket. Cook until lightly browned, 10-12 minutes, stirring once. Serve immediately.

Are fries healthy when cooked in an air fryer?

Fries that are air-fried, both sweet potato and those made from regular potatoes, are healthier than their deep-fried counterparts.

That’s because instead of using quarts of oil in a deep fryer, you can use just a small amount, or none at all, in an air fryer. Plus, you’ll still achieve beautifully crispy fries. For more tips and tricks, see our ultimate air-fryer guide.

How do I make these sweet potato fries if I don’t have an air fryer?

If you don’t have an air fryer, you can make these fries in an oven. Preheat oven to 425° F. Combine all ingredients; toss to coat. Spread fries in a single layer on two baking sheets. Bake until crisp, 35-40 minutes. Serve immediately.

What goes well with sweet potato fries?

The first thing that probably comes to mind is the classic burger and fries combo. There’s no beating that, but don’t discount other pub and restaurant fare such as fried fish, chicken tenders and hot, hearty sandwiches of all kinds. If you’re trying to eat healthier, pair sweet potato fries with grilled chicken, seafood, sheet pan suppers and other quick and healthy entrees.

TIPS FOR MAKING AIR FRYER POTATOES

  • Cut the potatoes evenly. To ensure even cooking time for all the potatoes, try using sweet potatoes that are similar in size. It helps to use a very sharp knife and lay the potato halves flat on a cutting surface to cut them evenly. This way nothing over-cooks or under-cooks.
  • Don’t forget to preheat. While it’s actually not necessary to preheat all air fryers, most do recommend it. Even if your air fryer doesn’t recommend preheating, I think it’s a crucial step to ensure accurate cooking at the temperature you select.
  • Don’t overcrowd the basket. It’s tempting to throw all the potatoes in there at once. But if you overcrowd the basket and these air fryer sweet potato fries overlap, you may end up creating a steaming effect instead of crisping effect.
  • Turn the sweet potatoes half way through cooking. You can shake the basket or use tongs to turn the sweet potatoes. While the air does circulate all around the potatoes, the heat on the bottom is stronger than the top, which is why this tip is important.

How to cook frozen sweet potato fries in the air fryer?

When using a bag of frozen potatoes, make sure they’re already seasoned and if not, follow the same instructions as you would for making homemade fries. Next, set your air fryer up for a lesser time, such as 15-20 minutes of cooking at 375ºF. Lastly, enjoy these delicious sweet potatoes!

How long does it take to cook frozen sweet fries?

Regularly it takes 15-20 minutes at 375ºC. Don’t overcrowd the basket and flip them halfway through cooking. With these instructions, the fries will be soft and tender, but for crispy fries, cook them for plus minutes.

Additionally, if you buy frozen sweet fries, add very little oil to keep them from sticking, or you can make them oil-free so they won’t become soggy.

How long to cook sweet potatoes in the air fryer?

Around 20 minutes, it all depends on the temperature, which here is at 375ºF. If you like very crunchy outside, cook them longer, about 25 minutes.

An additional case, for perfect tender spuds, it only takes 15 minutes to cook at 380ºF, but for crispier, it takes 20 minutes in total to cook.

Are sweet potato fries healthy?

Absolutely! Sweet potato fries are cooked with just a tiny bit of olive oil. Naturally, therefore, they are much lower in calories and fat than deep-fried sweet potato fries.

They are also rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They’re also high in antioxidants and beta-carotene.

Sweet potatoes also promote good gut bacteria, contribute to a healthy gut, protect against certain cancers, prevent vision loss and improve eye health.

Additionally, they can improve brain health by reducing inflammation and preventing mental decline.

Why do you soak sweet potatoes in water before air frying?

Soaking the potatoes does something magical with the starches; the water helps to draw the starch out. This helps the fries cook better to be ultra-crispy on the outside and tender inside and prevents the fries from sticking together.

Should I peel sweet potatoes for fries?

It is not necessary to peel sweet potatoes. I recommend buying organic sweet potatoes if you don’t want to peel them. If you don’t have organic sweet potatoes, make sure you scrub the outside of the potato really well before cutting it into fries.
