Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large sweet potato peeled and cut into 1/4-inch sticks
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper optional
  • 1 tbsp avocado or olive oil

Method
 

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Pat the sweet potato sticks dry.
  2. Mix cornstarch, salt, garlic powder, paprika, cinnamon, and cayenne. Toss the fries with the dry seasoning, then add oil and toss again.
  3. Arrange fries in the air fryer basket in a loose layer. Cook for 10 to 14 minutes, tossing once or twice, until browned at the edges and tender inside.
  4. Serve immediately with ketchup, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Cut fries as evenly as possible. Thicker pieces need extra time, so begin checking for doneness around 8 minutes.
