Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Wedges
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for cooking the wedges to crispy perfection.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove the skin, then cut them into evenly sized wedges for uniform cooking.
- Season Wedges: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato wedges with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Arrange in Air Fryer Basket: Place the seasoned sweet potato wedges in a single layer inside the air fryer basket to allow hot air to circulate freely around each wedge for even crisping.
- Cook and Shake: Cook the wedges for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure all sides become crispy. Check for desired crispiness and continue cooking a few minutes longer if needed.
Notes
- Cut wedges evenly to ensure uniform cooking and crispness.
- Shake the basket halfway through cooking to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
- Add extra seasoning like chili powder or cumin for different flavor variations.
