Equipment
- Knife
Ingredients
- 2 Sweet Potatoes roughly the same size and length
- 1 tablespoon Cornflour (Cornstarch) Optional - for extra crispy fries
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil or use sunflower or avocado oil
- ½ teaspoon Sea Salt
- ½ teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Oregano
- ⅛ teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400F).
- Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into fries (make sure they are a similar size and thickness). Place in a bowl and coat in the cornflour if using.1 tablespoon Cornflour (Cornstarch), 2 Sweet Potatoes
- Pour in the olive oil and sprinkle over the seasonings. Use your hands to make sure each sweet potato fry is coated.1 tablespoon Olive Oil, ½ teaspoon Sea Salt, ½ teaspoon Smoked Paprika, ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder, ¼ teaspoon Oregano, ⅛ teaspoon Black Pepper
- Put the fries into the air fryer basket and air fry for 20 minutes, shaking the basket after 10 minutes to make sure they cook evenly.
Notes
- Use two sweet potatoes that are roughly the same size and not too long so you can cut evenly sized fries from the full length.
- Preheat the air fryer so the basket is hot before adding the fries — this helps them crisp up quickly.
- Cut the fries to a similar thickness for even cooking and trim off very thin ends if you don’t want them to over-char.
- Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure the fries cook evenly on all sides.
- For extra crispy fries, toss the cut sweet potatoes in cornflour (cornstarch) before adding the oil and seasoning.
- Don’t overcrowd the basket. Cook in batches so the hot air can circulate properly.
- If using regular white potatoes instead, soak them in water for 30 minutes first to remove excess starch, then dry thoroughly before cooking.
