Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries – crispy, delicious, and so easy to make. 

Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries

The air fryer is the prefect way to make these homemade sweet potato fries. Tossed with salt and a little cinnamon and brown sugar, these fries are a great combination of sweet and salty.

 

How to Make Sweet Potato Fries in the Air Fryer

  2. Preheat air fryer to 350 degrees for 5 minutes.
  3. Combine sweet potatoes, melted butter, salt, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl and toss to coat.
  4. Place sweet potatoes in single layer in air fryer basket.
  5. Shake basket halfway through cooking time.
  6. Sprinkle with brown sugar after cooking.

Recipe Tips

  • You can substitute melted butter for olive oil.
  • Cooking time will vary depending on air fryer used.
  • To make sweet potato wedges, cut into wedge shapes and increase cooking time.
  • For even cooking, do not over crowd air fryer.
  • For a savory version, substitute cinnamon and brown sugar for smoked paprika and garlic powder.

 

Ingredients Needed

  • 2-3 Sweet Potatoes, peeled
  • Butter or Olive Oil
