Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Sweet potatoes
- 1.5 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper (optional for spice)
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin, even strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to ensure they cook evenly.
Place the sweet potato strips into a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and make them crispier.
After soaking, drain the sweet potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
In the large bowl, toss the sweet potato strips with olive oil, ensuring each piece is lightly coated. This helps them to crisp up in the air fryer.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, ground black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using) over the sweet potatoes. Toss again until the fries are evenly coated with the spices.
Place the fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the basket; you may need to cook them in batches.
Air fry the sweet potato fries for 10 minutes, then open the air fryer and shake the basket to ensure even cooking. Cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Remove the fries from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. They will crisp up a bit more as they cool.
Serve immediately as a side dish or snack. Enjoy your low sodium air fried sweet potato fries with your favorite dipping sauce!
