Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unflavored protein powder
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato strips with olive oil. Toss well to coat the sweet potatoes evenly.
Step 4
In another bowl, mix together the protein powder, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Sprinkle the dry mixture over the oiled sweet potatoes, and toss until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated with the seasonings.
Step 6
Arrange the sweet potato fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd as this will prevent them from getting crispy. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Step 7
Air fry the sweet potato fries for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The fries should be golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the fries from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Step 9
Serve hot as a snack or a side dish with your favorite dipping sauce.
