Step 1

Peel the sweet potatoes or you can leave the skins on if you prefer a rustic look. And then cut them into thin strips, about a quarter of an inch wide. Then pat the potatoes down with kitchen roll to remove any excess moisture. This will stop them being soggy once cooked. For extra crispy fries, you can soak the sweet potato strips in water for around 30 minutes before cooking. This helps to remove some of the starch. Then drain them and dry thoroughly with paper towels.

Step 2

Place the sweet potato strips in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil or spray with oil. Then toss them to coat evenly with oil.

Step 3

Sprinkle over the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper over the sweet potatoes, and toss again to evenly coat in seasoning.

Step 4

You can preheat your air fryer to 190°C for about 5 minutes if you want your fries to be extra crispy.

Step 5

Then place the seasoned sweet potato fries in to the air fryer basket in a single layer. It is okay if they overlap slightly, but avoid overcrowding the basket. The better the hot air can circulate, the crispier the fries will become. If you have a smaller air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches to ensure the fries cook evenly.

Step 6

Then cook at 190°C for about 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. After 15 minutes, check for desired crispiness. If you want them crispier, continue cooking for a few more minutes.

Step 7

Once crispy and golden, remove the sweet potato fries from the air fryer basket. Serve immediately with your favourite dipping sauce
