Ingredients

• 2 large sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin fries, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato fries with the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, dried thyme, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Toss the fries until they are evenly coated with the oil and spices.

Step 5

Place the spiced sweet potato fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.

Step 6

Air fry the sweet potato fries for 10 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

Check for desired crispiness after 10 minutes. Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes if necessary, checking every 5 minutes, until fries are golden and crispy.

Step 8

Remove the sweet potato fries from the air fryer and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or basil before serving.
