Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 medium-sized firm sweet potatoes
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1–2 teaspoons cornstarch or arrowroot powder (optional, for extra crispiness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them lengthwise into even wedges about half an inch thick to ensure uniform cooking and crispiness.
  2. Season the Wedges: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato wedges with olive oil, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. If using cornstarch or arrowroot powder, sprinkle it over the wedges and mix well to coat each wedge lightly for an extra crispy texture.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking and optimal crispiness from the start.
  4. Air Fry the Sweet Potato Wedges: Arrange the wedges in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning and crisping.
  5. Check for Doneness: When the wedges are golden and crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, remove them from the air fryer. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor experience.

Notes

  • Cut wedges evenly to ensure uniform cooking and crispiness.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; space allows proper air circulation.
  • Use just enough oil to lightly coat the wedges; too much oil can cause sogginess.
  • Shake the basket halfway through cooking for even browning on all sides.
  • Lightly dust wedges with cornstarch or arrowroot powder before cooking to boost crispiness.
