Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, cut into ¼ inch sticks
- Avocado or olive oil spray
- 2 teaspoons Cajun Seasoning
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- Flaky sea salt
- 2 tablespoons freeze dried chives
Instructions
- Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into ¼ inch sticks.
- Add the fries to a mixing bowl and a good amount of oil spray on the fries. Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, and salt. Mix to combine.
- Add the fries to an air fryer basket, all in one layer, and cook at 380°F for about 14 minutes, flipping once halfway. Air fry until golden brown and crispy on the outside. Timing varies on the air fryer.
- Garnish with freeze drives chives and serve with your favorite condiment, like ketchup or ranch.
Notes
- Cut the sweet potato fries evenly: To ensure that the sweet potato fries cook evenly, try to cut them into even-sized pieces. This will help them cook at the same rate and prevent some fries from getting too crispy while others are still undercooked.
- Soak the sweet potato fries: Soaking the sweet potato fries in cold water for 30 minutes before air frying can help remove excess starch and make them extra crispy.
- Dry the sweet potato fries thoroughly: After soaking the sweet potato fries, make sure to dry them thoroughly with a paper towel. Excess water on the fries can prevent them from getting crispy.
- Use a light coating of oil: A light coating of oil is all you need to help the sweet potato fries crisp up in the air fryer. Too much oil can make them soggy and greasy.
- Season generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings! Sweet potato fries are delicious on their own, but adding some spices or herbs can take them to the next level. Be sure to toss the fries with the seasonings in a mixing bowl before air frying.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket: Make sure the sweet potato fries are in a single layer in the air fryer basket, without touching each other. This will allow the hot air to circulate around them and help them cook evenly.
- Shake the basket during cooking: Shake the air fryer basket once or twice during cooking to ensure that the sweet potato fries cook evenly on all sides.
