Ingredient notes
- Sweet Potato Fries – Any pre-cut frozen fries will do, like Alexia or Whole Foods 360 brand. Regular or crinkle cut fries will both work.
- Seasonings – The additional seasonings are optional, as most frozen sweet potato fries already have some seasonings on them. It’s your choice!
- Salt – Wait until after the fries are cooked and add any salt to suit your taste.
Cooking tips from an expert home chef
- Be sure to preheat your air fryer. If you don’t you’ll have a longer cooking time.
- Stir the fries quickly (or shake the basket) at 5 minute intervals to ensure even cooking.
- Watch them carefully around the 15-minute mark and remove them when they are cooked to your liking. Leaving them in the air fryer just a few minutes too long can burn the fries.
- Prep your sweet potato fry dip while the fries are cooking so you’re ready to dig right in!
