Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 1 8-10 ounce Sweet Potato
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch also called cornflour
Seasoning Blend
- 1 teaspoon fine grind sea salt or kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer on the hottest setting for 10 minutes. Make sure the air fryer basket or crisper plate is in the appliance during the preheat time. I use the Broil/Grill function on the NInja Foodi Pressure Cooker & Air Crisper because it reaches 450°F/230°C. If you are using a different air fryer, just use your hottest temperature setting.
- Peel your sweet potato to remove the skin. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Mix up the spices in a small bowl.
- If your sweet potato is rolling on your cutting board, slice a tiny bit off of the side to make a flat surface. Cut the sweet potato in half. Place each flat side on your cutting board and make slices about ½" thick planks. Cut each plank into strips about ½" thick.
- Place the cut sweet potatoes into a large bowl and drizzle about 1 Tablespoon of olive oil or avocado oil over the top. Sprinkle on about ½ of the seasoning blend and toss the fries in the bowl. Add the remaining seasoning and toss again.
- Sprinkle the cornstarch over the top of the fries and toss to lightly coat the sweet potatoes with the cornstarch.
- Add as many sweet potato fries to the preheated air fryer as you can fit in one level. In the NInja Foodi PC & AC I can get half of them in at a time. Air Fry at 375°F/190°C for about 10 minutes. Toss them around at 5 minutes. Once they are golden brown and crispy, remove from the air fryer and place on a cooling rack.
- Repeat for the rest of the batches. When you get to the last batch, set the air fryer for 12 minutes and when the final batch has cooked 10 minutes add in previous batches and air fryer for 2 minutes, tossing them after 1 minute. This will get them all warmed back up again.
- Dump all the fries onto the cooling rack and spread them out. Let them cool a few minutes which adds to the crispiness. Serve & Enjoy!
