Meet the Star of the Show!

Despite their amazing taste and their ability to easily creep into your diet, sweet potatoes are actually packed with plenty of health benefits.

Sweet potatoes are full of vitamins, fiber, and minerals. They are also a huge source of antioxidants that protects your body from chronic disease and radical damage.

Health benefits aside, sweet potatoes are already packing flavor before you even begin to work with them. So, imagine all the possibilities of seasoning them or spicing them up to suit your taste buds!

Once Upon a Dip!

We can all agree that the best food are the ones dipped in some creamy flavorful sauce. And here’s the thing: the possibilities are endless!

Dip your sweet potato fries in some Smoked Paprika Aioli. This dip is made of minced garlic, mayonnaise, garlic powder, smoked paprika, lime juice, and salt and pepper. Its smoky flavor complements your crispy sweet potato fries to perfection.

You can also try your fries with some Chipotle Lime Mayo. The combination of mayonnaise, lime, and chipotle paste makes a perfect spicy, smoky, and citrusy tang.

Finally, if you are looking for a flavor explosion, then pair your fries with Grainy Honey Mustard Sauce. The rich mixture of stone ground mustard, mayo, honey and cinnamon will leave your taste buds deliciously satisfied.

If you like the good old-fashioned condiments, and it’s rare to find those who don’t, then indulge! A little bit of ketchup, some mustard, a bit of barbecue sauce.

Tips for the Best Sweet Potato Fries!

Somewhere down the line, I am sure we can all appreciate some guidance or tips that would make our cooking adventure a bit easier. Well don’t you worry! Here are a few tips that would guarantee you the best results!

Tip 1: Cut your potatoes in similar shape and size to make for more even cooking. Also, make sure you flip or shake your tray halfway through the cooking process. Despite the fact that air does circulate, the heat is always stronger at the bottom.

Tip 2: Don’t overcrowd your sweet potato fries in the basket. If you throw everything in there at once, you might create a steaming effect instead of a crisping one.

Tip 3: Sprinkle some seasoning salt on your sweet potato fries after cooking for an enhanced flavor.

Tip 4: You can use any kind of oil you want (avocado or canola). You can even omit the oil if you prefer, but keep in mind that your fries may taste drier.


Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use frozen sweet potato fries?

You absolutely can. If you prefer using frozen fries then you can stick to the same temperature mentioned in this recipe, but it will take you an extra five minutes.

Why are my sweet potato fries getting soggy?

Your sweet potato fries may get soggy if you overcrowd them in the Air Fryer. Try to keep them in a single layer to attain that crispy crunchy bite.

Can I store my sweet potato fries?

If you find yourself with leftovers that you would rather enjoy at a later time, then place your fries in an airtight container in the fridge. They should be good for about 3 days.

    Thanks for sharing. Will definitely give it a try. I just have a question does the air fryer crisp them as much as an oven ?

      Awesome! It sure does, without all the extra oil. Use cooking oil spray!
