Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin fries, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato fries with the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, dried thyme, sea salt, and black pepper.
Toss the fries until they are evenly coated with the oil and spices.
Place the spiced sweet potato fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Air fry the sweet potato fries for 10 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Check for desired crispiness after 10 minutes. Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes if necessary, checking every 5 minutes, until fries are golden and crispy.
Remove the sweet potato fries from the air fryer and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or basil before serving.
