These slightly crispy air-fried sweet potatoes are super easy to make and they are great as side dish or as a healthy snack in between meals.
Before I go on with the post, sorry for not “visiting” you lately…we were on vacation and just got back a couple of days ago…we visited part of Croatia in a small ship through the Adriatic Sea, it was a lot of fun, met great people and enjoyed fantastic food…sharing some pictures are at the end of the post in case you are interested…now back to the post…
– Why air-fried sweet potatoes are healthy?
Air-fried sweet potato fries are made with less fat than traditional fries, so they are a healthier version with less fat and calories for you when craving for conventional fried potatoes or sweet potatoes.
– Very easy, almost no work
You will need only a few ingredients and very small work for these air-fried sweet potatoes.
– Seasoning?
I like it almost plain…just a bit of salt after air-fried…the contrast of the sweet and savory is magical…but feel free to coat with your favorite herb or any dip you like. The possibilities are endless…
– Air-fried sweet potato tips?
Yes, for even cooking try to cut the sweet potato as uniform as possible, either thin or thick…and place them in one single layer or close to it…that’s it!
– Thin or thick cut?
It all depends, sometimes I like it thin for extra crispness and sometimes I like it thick, so the middle is soft and moist, contrasting with the crisp layer on the outside.
– Are you ready for the sweet potatoes fries in the air-fryer
Ingredients:
- Sweet potatoes
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Any seasoning if using
Method:
Preheat air-fryer to 400oF.
As stated above, try to cut them as uniform as possible.
Toss with olive oil, salt and/or any herbs.
Cook in batches, without overcrowding the basket.
Cook for approximately 8 – 10 minutes if the fries are thin and around 14-16 minutes for thicker cuts.
Make sure to flip the basket half way.
Serve warm…with or without your favorite dipping sauce.
