Directions
Step 1
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Step 2
Cut the sweet potatoes into even-sized wedges or fries, about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, black pepper, and salt.

Arrange the sweet potato wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. You may need to air fry in batches if necessary.
Step 7
Air fry the sweet potatoes for 18-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to promote even crisping.
