Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries
Air Fryer sweet potato fries are tender on the inside with gorgeous crispy browned edges around the outside. They’re easy to make, well seasoned and ready for dipping.
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, cut into ¼ inch wide and thick fries
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer to 375, if yours requires preheating.
- Combine the sweet potatoes with the oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Toss well to coat them evenly.
- Spray the Air Fryer insert with cooking spray and add the sweet potato fries in an even layer. (If you have too many, work in batches. Don’t overcrowd or they won’t cook properly or get crispy edges.)
- Cook the sweet potato fries at 375 for 14-18 minutes, shaking the tray halfway through the cook time to promote even roasting.
- Start to check the sweet potatoes at 14 minutes and watch closely so they don’t burn.
- If working in batches, repeat with the remaining sweet potato fries. You can add all of the cooked fries, stacked, to the Air Fryer for a final 1-2 minutes of cook time to ensure they’re all warmed through.
- Serve hot, with any desired toppings or dipping sauces (see notes below).

Notes
Your fries should be cut to be the same size. The recipe - and timing - is written for fries cut into ¼ inch wide and ¼ inch thick sticks. This small size helps ensure even cooking with tender insides and crispy edges.
Peeling the sweet potatoes is optional. I often do, but some people prefer the skin on.
Make sure not to overcrowd your Air Fryer. The sweet potato fries should be in an even layer and not too packed together.
Work in batches if needed. It may take 2-3 batches depending on the size of your Air Fryer and how many fries you get from your sweet potatoes. You can always add all the cooked fries back to the Air Fryer at the end - even though they’ll be stacked - just to make sure they’re still warmed through.
Dipping sauces:
- Ketchup
- BBQ sauce
- Ranch dressing
- Honey mustard
- Mayonnaise (not my thing, but it’s a thing)
- Shredded cheese to melt on top
- Cooked, crumbled bacon
- Chopped fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro
- Chopped chives
- Hot sauce or sriracha
