Servings: 1 person
Ingredients
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Prepare the Sweet Potato: While the air fryer is heating up, wash and peel the sweet potato. Cut it into evenly sized fries, about 1/4 inch wide.
- Season the Fries: In a bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil, salt, paprika, and garlic powder. Make sure the fries are well-coated with the seasonings.
- Spray the Air Fryer Basket: Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Fries: Place the seasoned sweet potato fries in the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook them in batches if your air fryer is small. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The fries should be crispy and golden brown when done.
- Serve: Once the sweet potato fries are cooked to your desired crispiness, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute. Serve immediately.
