Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 medium sweet potato
- avocado oil spray or olive oil spray
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Start by washing and cutting the sweet potato into wedges. First cut off the top and bottom of the sweet potato. Then cut in half lengthwise. Cut those 2 halves in half again lengthwise to make 4 parts. Cut those 4 parts into 2-3 wedges each by cutting them lengthwise into wedges. You should end with 8-12 fries.1 medium sweet potato
- Next add sweet potato wedges to air fryer basket. Spray with avocado oil or olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Use your hands or tongs to toss them well. Turn on the air fryer to 375F for 15 minutes.1 medium sweet potato, avocado oil spray or olive oil spray, 1/2 tsp sea salt
- After 8 minutes of cooking (the air fryer will have 7 minutes left), pause and shake the basket.
- Pause the air fryer to shake the basket again 1-2 more times in the last 7 minutes of cooking to ensure the potato wedges don't burn.
Notes
Top tips
- Use a sharp knife - A dull knife is actually more dangerous since it requires more force and pressure to cut through the sweet potatoes. A sharp knife makes the job easier and safer.
- Trim thin edges – If you see very thin edges on the wedges, cut them off before air frying. They’ll burn quickly and affect the taste and texture.
- Don’t overcrowd the basket – Air circulation is key to crispy sweet potato wedges! If the basket is too full, the wedges will steam instead of crisp up. Cook in batches if needed.
- Shake the basket – give the basket a shake 2-3 times while cooking to help the wedges cook evenly.
- Use the right spray: Avoid non-stick sprays with propellants (like Pam), as they can damage the air fryer basket. Instead, use a spray bottle with pure avocado or olive oil, or toss the wedges in oil before cooking.
- Switch up your seasonings – check out my ideas below so you never get bored!
Storing leftovers
Fridge: Store leftover sweet potato wedges in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350F air fryer for 5 minutes or in a 400F oven for 10 minutes.Nutrition
