Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Seasonings (Optional)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Wash and the sweet potatoes. You can peel the skin if you prefer.
- With a sharp knife cut the sweet potatoes into wedges. Aim for uniform size to ensure even cooking.
- Place the sweet potato wedges in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato wedges with olive oil, ensuring each piece is lightly coated.
- Add garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper and any other spices of your choice. Mix well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Place the seasoned sweet potato wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure they cook evenly.
- Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crispiness. The exact cooking time may vary based on your air fryer model and the thickness of your wedges.
- Once golden brown and crispy, remove the sweet potato wedges from the air fryer.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
