Ingredients

2 medium sweet potatoes
2 - 4 teaspoons olive oil See recipe notes
½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Wash and dry sweet potatoes. I usually just wash the potatoes with my hands but you can also use a scrubber to make sure you remove all of the dirt from the skin. Remove any blemishes from the sweet potatoes. I use the top of a potato peeler for this step but you can also use a knife.
Place one sweet potato on it's side and cut it into ½ inch rounds. Cut each round into ½ inch pieces. Repeat with remaining sweet potato. The sweet potato pieces will look quite large but they will shrink as they cook.
Preheat air fryer to 400F. Place cut sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Add olive oil and toss to coat the potatoes. Sprinkle with salt and toss again.
Once the air fryer has heated, add sweet potatoes. Cook for 20 - 22 minutes. Open the air fryer every 5 minutes and toss the sweet potatoes. This will ensure the sweet potatoes are cooked evenly on all sides.
Remove sweet potato fries from air fryer after the timer ends. Serve immediately!

Notes

Nutrition information is calculated using 2 teaspoons of olive oil.

Different models of air fryers can vary slightly in temperature. Check the sweet potato fries regularly throughout the last 5 minutes of cooking time to make sure they don't burn. If the sweet potato fries are browning too much, turn off the air fryer and serve them immediately.

Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries are best served immediately after cooking. Leftovers can be stored for a day or two in the refrigerator. They can be reheated in the microwave but they won't be as crispy as they were when they first came out of the air fryer.

Adjust the oil according to your preferences. If you prefer sweet potato fries that are crispier then add the full amount of olive oil. The more oil, the more crispier the fries will be. If you prefer a healthier version, then use less oil but they won't be as crispy.
