Step 1: Prep the Potatoes
Wash and thoroughly dry your sweet potatoes. Peel them if you like, or leave the skin on for extra nutrients and flavor. Cut into even-sized wedges or rounds.
Step 2: Season and Toss
In a bowl, toss the sweet potato wedges with olive oil and salt. Get them evenly coated! Feel free to add garlic powder, paprika, or other spices for extra flavor.
Step 3: Preheat Your Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. This ensures even cooking and that perfect crispy texture.
Step 4: Air Fry to Perfection!
Arrange the sweet potato wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Don’t overcrowd! Cook for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender. Cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer and the size of your wedges.
Step 5: Enjoy!
Once cooked, remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly. Serve as a side dish or a snack. Add your favorite toppings for an extra delicious touch!
