Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 1 second spray olive oil spray
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Directions
Step 1
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into even-sized matchsticks, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
Place the cut sweet potatoes in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Allow them to soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This can help achieve a crispier texture.
Step 3
Drain the sweet potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel. Ensure all excess moisture is removed to enhance crispiness during cooking.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried sweet potato sticks, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the sweet potatoes are well coated.
Step 5
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 3 minutes.
Step 6
Spray the air fryer basket lightly with olive oil spray.
Step 7
Arrange the sweet potato fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring there is minimal overlap for even cooking.
Step 8
Lightly spray the top of the sweet potato fries with olive oil spray for added crispiness.
Step 9
Cook the fries for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. Cooking times may vary depending on the model of your air fryer and the thickness of the fries, so check for desired crispiness.
Step 10
Once cooked to a golden-brown crisp, remove the fries from the air fryer and serve immediately as they are best enjoyed fresh and hot.
