Ingredients list
- Sweet potatoes - Scrubbed, clean, and peeled.
- Avocado oil - Olive oil, canola oil, or grape seed oil will all work as well. For a richer flavor use melted salted butter.
- Sea salt - Use whichever salt you have on hand, table salt included. Season to taste immediately after your sweet potato fries are cooked.
- Garlic and herb seasoning - Mrs. Dash seasoning is wonderful because it doesn't have any added salt. However, if you do choose a seasoning that does have salt, just omit the salt listed in the recipe, or season to taste.

How to Air Fry Sweet Potato Fries
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees.
Cut the peeled potatoes into ¼-½ inch thick fries. Pat the potato slices dry with a paper towel, then coat them with oil in a large bowl.
Add sea salt and garlic and herb seasoning to the potatoes and toss to combine.
Place the potatoes in the air fryer, in a single layer.
Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove the fries from the air fryer and put in another batch if necessary.
Serve hot with optional parsley garnish and dipping sauce.
Dietary Swaps

- Note: Choose a dipping sauce that fits within your specific dietary guidelines.
Jenn's Tips
- When air frying it's crucial to avoid overcrowding by placing them in a single layer. Overcrowding can cause the fries to steam.
- When cutting your sweet potatoes it's recommended to keep the fries as evenly sized as possible to ensure they cook the same. If some fries are different sizes, air fry similar sizes together.
- Flip the fries halfway through to promote crispy bits on all sides.
- Preheat the air fryer before you add fries.
- Soak the sweet potato fries in cold water for about 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove extra starch and make the fries crispier.
Storing and Reheating
- Storing: Store your sweet potato fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freezing: To freeze, wait for your fries to cool. Then, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for about an hour until they are firm. After that, you can transfer them to a freezer-safe plastic bag or airtight container. Store frozen sweet potato fries for up to 3 months.
- Reheating: To reheat leftover sweet potato fries, simply place them back in the air fryer for a few minutes at 400 degrees, until they're heated through. You can also use an oven or toaster oven and bake them at 425 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until they're hot.
FAQ's
Sweet potato fries can be paired with a wide range of different foods. I enjoy serving them with burgers, sandwiches, wraps, grilled meats or fish.
To balance the sweetness of the sweet potato dip them in a spicy sauce. Either a sriracha mayo or chipotle aioli. A creamy dip of ranch or blue cheese dressing. A nice tangy dip of honey mustard or a honey dijon would complement them well.
There are a few important factors that can play a role in your sweet potato fries not being crispy. If your fries are not crispy try troubleshooting with any of these reasons:
-Overcrowding
-Not enough oil
-Too much oil
-Air fryer temperature
-Uneven slicing
