Air Fryer Spiced Sweet Potato Fries

These spiced sweet potato fries come together quickly in the air fryer and made a great easy dinner side for burgers, pulled pork sandwiches and more!

We have been using our air fryer more and more for easy meals and sides. These sweet potato fries are super easy and absolutely delicious- the perfect quick weeknight side!

Tips for using the air fryer:

1. Dry your food well- this will prevent excess steam from forming, preventing browning.
2. Though typically designed to be nonstick, you still want to spray your air fryer with cooking spray (I use Chosen Foods Avocado Oil Spray)
3. Don’t overcrowd! Just like with roasting, over-crowding will prevent browning. Don’t overcrowd for the crispiest result!
4. Shake halfway. Most air fryers will prompt you to shake or flip your food halfway- though this is typically recommended for best browning (like with air fryer vegetables)- follow recipe instructions.

Instructions:

1. Preheat air fryer to 375 for 2 minutes.
2. Place sliced sweet potato in a large bowl. Cover with enough oil to coat as well as seasonings. Toss well to combine.
3. Spray air fryer with cooking spray. Place sweet potatoes in a single layer (you may need to do this in two batches if your air fryer is small) and place in air fryer. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, tossing once, until fries are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
