Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon optional: fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Begin by washing and peeling the sweet potatoes. Use a sharp knife to slice them into even, thin strips, roughly 1/4 inch thick, resembling traditional fries.
In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato strips with olive oil. Toss until the fries are evenly coated.
Add sea salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss the fries again to ensure an even distribution of spices.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Arrange the seasoned sweet potato fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure not to overcrowd the basket for optimal crispiness.
Air fry the sweet potato fries for 10 minutes. Pause the air fryer, remove the basket, and shake it to ensure even cooking. If desired, use tongs to flip the fries halfway through cooking.
Air fry for an additional 10 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy to your liking.
Carefully remove the fries from the air fryer and taste for seasoning. Add more sea salt if needed.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if using.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Enjoy your Paleo Air Fried Sweet Potato Fries as a healthy side dish or snack!
