Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and perfectly seasoned with a hint of smokiness and a touch of spice, these air fryer sweet potato fries are an irresistible treat.
Place the sweet potato fries in a large bowl. Drizzle olive oil over them, ensuring they are evenly coated. Add paprika and garlic powder if desired for extra flavor. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss the fries to ensure they are well-coated with the oil and seasonings.
Place the seasoned sweet potato fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket; cook them in batches if necessary. The more space they have, the crispier they will become.
Test the fries with a fork or a toothpick. They should be tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. If they need more time, cook for an additional 2-5 minutes, checking for doneness.
Once they're cooked to your desired level of crispiness, remove them from the air fryer immediately. Let them cool for a minute or two and then serve hot.
