Sweet potato fries

I tried air fryer sweet potato wedges yesterday. Not happy. They didn't come out crispy. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your reply, Cari. I'm also looking at getting a fry slicer to get them smaller. Any suggestions?

Hi! This used to happen to me too at the beginning :( what made a difference was patting them with kitchen paper towels to try to get rid of as much moisture as possible. Also make sure to not pile them up in the air fryer, rather distribute them with some space in within so they can cook properly. They turn out crispy when I started doing it :D

I have a Cuisinart fry cutter that I got at Target, it's great because its handy to cut other type of vegetables too :)

Can it handle sweet potatoes without cooking them first?

Yes, I would recommend to pre heat your air fryer (if it has the option to) beforehand. Mine take a bit over 10 min to be done and crunchy
