Ingredients

1 medium sweet potato $0.99
avocado oil spray or olive oil spray $0.25
1/2 tsp sea salt $0.03

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.
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.
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.
