Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz (1 lb) frozen sweet potato fries (any brand)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil spray (optional, for extra crispiness)
- ½ teaspoon sea salt (adjust to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for a smoky kick)
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for 3 minutes. This step helps achieve a crispy exterior.
- Arrange the Fries: Spread 16 oz of frozen sweet potato fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow proper air circulation for even cooking.
- Air Fry Until Crispy: Cook at 400°F for 12–15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through at the 6–7 minute mark. For extra crispiness, cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Season & Serve: Once done, sprinkle with ½ teaspoon sea salt, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, and ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika, if desired. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces like garlic aioli, honey mustard, or ranch.
Notes
- Don’t Overcrowd the Basket – If you’re cooking a large batch, do it in two rounds for the crispiest fries.
- Shake the Basket – This ensures the fries get even browning on all sides.
- Use Olive Oil Spray for Extra Crisp – Even though most frozen fries have some oil, an extra
- light mist of olive oil can enhance the crunch.
