Ingredients
- 2 medium (460 g) sweet potatoes cut into wedges
- 1 ½ Tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt plus more to taste
- Black pepper & chili powder to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.First, preheat your air fryer to 375°F/190°C. Meanwhile, wash, dry, and optionally peel the sweet potatoes.
- Then, slice each potato in half lengthwise, place it flat-side onto the chopping board, and slice at an angle into ¾-1 inch wedges.
- Extra step for crispier results:- Soak the wedges for 10-15 minutes in cold water, then dry them- Optionally add 1 Tbsp of cornstarch/potato starch (creates a crisp shell)
- Transfer the wedges to a large mixing bowl, drizzle with oil and seasonings, and toss well to coat evenly.
- Spread the wedges in a single layer across the air fryer basket, leaving space between for airflow.Avoid overcrowding, or the wedges won’t crisp up– work in batches if necessary.
- Air fry the sweet potato wedges for 15-18 minutes, flipping them halfway, until tender inside with crispy edges. Enjoy!
Notes
- Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce: I.e., Vegan ranch, garlic aioli, sriracha, keto BBQ sauce, vegan tzatziki, guacamole/ avocado sauce, yum yum sauce, etc.
- Check the FAQs if you prefer to bake the sweet potato wedges in the oven.
