Ingredients
Sweet Potato Fries
- 1 ½ lbs sweet potatoes – peeled and chopped into ¼” sticks
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
Dipping Sauce
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup ketchup
- 1 Tbsp vinegar
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp paprika
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F to ensure even cooking and crispiness of the fries.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash, peel, and cut the sweet potatoes into ¼-inch thick sticks, similar in size to traditional fries. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Season the Fries: Drizzle olive oil over the sweet potato sticks followed by paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat all fries evenly with the seasoning and oil.
- Arrange Fries in Air Fryer: Once preheated, arrange the seasoned sweet potato fries in the air fryer basket in a single, even layer to ensure they cook uniformly.
- Cook the Fries: Air fry the fries at 375°F for 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking. This promotes even cooking and helps achieve a golden, crispy texture on all sides. Remove from air fryer when done.
- Season and Plate: Transfer the crispy fries to a serving plate and sprinkle a little extra salt if desired to enhance flavor.
- Prepare Dipping Sauce: While the fries are cooking, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and paprika in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Serve the air-fried sweet potato fries hot alongside the tangy dipping sauce for a delicious snack or side dish.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary.
- Adjust seasoning amounts to taste preferences, especially salt and paprika.
- This dipping sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Cutting sweet potatoes uniformly ensures even cooking.
- Shake the basket gently halfway through cooking to prevent burning and ensure even crisping.
