Preheat the Air Fryer. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F for a few minutes.
Prepare the Sweet Potatoes. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into even-sized fries or wedges. Try to make them as uniform as possible to ensure even cooking. Allow to soak in cold water for
Season the Fries. 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.
Arrange in the Air Fryer. 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.
Cooking Time. Cook the fries for about 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the fries halfway through. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking or burning.
Check for Doneness. 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.
Serve Hot. 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.
