Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Cut the sweet potatoes into even-sized wedges or fries, about 1/2 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, black pepper, and salt.
Add the sweet potato wedges to the bowl and toss them well to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil and spices.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Arrange the sweet potato wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. You may need to air fry in batches if necessary.
Air fry the sweet potatoes for 18-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to promote even crisping.
Once the sweet potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges, remove them from the air fryer.
Transfer the air-fried sweet potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with the chopped fresh parsley before serving.
