Useful Tools

Instructions

  • Clean the sweet potatoes and pat them dry. Slice them into 8 piece wedges.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 380 degree Fahrenheit. Spray a little bit of olive oil on the air fryer basket to coat the bottom.
  • Put the sweet potato pieces in a mixing bowl. Drizzle them with the oil, then add the salt and Cajun seasoning. Toss everything so the fries are coated with the oil and seasonings.
  • Put the sweet potato fries in the air fryer basket, leaving room for the air to circulate. You might need to cook these in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer.
  • Cook at 380 F for 12 minutes. Halfway through take the basket out and shake it or flip the wedges over. After 12 minutes, check the fries. They are done when they look wrinkled with dark brown color on the edges.
  • If they need more time, put them back in for another 1-5 minutes. The cooking time will depend on how thick the fries are and your air fryer's wattage.
  • Transfer them to a serving platter and sprinkle some salt and chopped herbs. Serve them with your desired dipping sauce. Serve warm and enjoy !

Notes

  1. To make homemade Cajun Seasoning : Mix 3 tablespoons smoked paprika + 1 tablespoon each garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, cayenne pepper and dried thyme.
  2. To make this recipe in the oven - Preheat oven to 400F. Use same instructions to cut and season the wedges. Arrange the wedges on parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 18-20 minutes, checking midway through. Wedges are done when they look wrinkled and dark brown. Take them out and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
  3. I used my Omni Plus Air fryer to make this recipe. You can use other air fryers including Instant Pot Air fryer lid.
