Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into fries

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon salt

A pinch of black pepper

Optional: Dipping sauces like ketchup or ranch dressing for serving

Instructions
 

Prep the Potatoes: Start by peeling the sweet potatoes, then cut them into even-sized fries, about ¼ inch thick. This will help ensure they cook uniformly.

    Seasoning Mix: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a seasoning blend.

      Coat the Fries: Add the cut sweet potato fries to the bowl with the seasoning mix. Toss the fries until they are evenly coated with the oil and spices.

        Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes, allowing it to reach the right temperature for crispy fries.

          Arrange in Air Fryer: Depending on the size of your air fryer, arrange the sweet potato fries in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure they crisp up nicely. You might need to cook in batches.

            Air Fry the Fries: Cook the sweet potato fries in the air fryer for about 15-18 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even browning. The fries should be crispy and golden brown when done.

              Cool and Serve: Once cooked, remove the fries from the air fryer and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy!
