Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 medium to large sweet potato
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s hot enough to crisp the sweet potato wedges.
- Cut Sweet Potatoes: Cut the sweet potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4 equal wedges, making a total of 8 wedges.
- Season Wedges: In a small bowl, whisk together chili powder, sea salt, black pepper, and ground cumin. Sprinkle this spice mix evenly over the sweet potato wedges.
- Coat with Olive Oil: Drizzle olive oil over the seasoned wedges and toss them using tongs to evenly coat them with the oil and spices.
- Cook First Half: Place wedges in the air fryer basket and cook at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes.
- Flip and Continue Cooking: Flip the wedges carefully and cook for an additional 10 minutes at 350 degrees or until the wedges reach your desired crispness.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately with your favorite dips such as ketchup, sour cream, or aioli.
Notes
- Use a sharp knife and a non-slip cutting board to safely cut the sweet potatoes.
- Pat the sweet potatoes dry with a paper towel before seasoning to avoid soggy wedges.
- These wedges are crispier than roasted potatoes but not as crispy as fries; adjust air fryer time for preferred crispness.
- Best served immediately; if not, keep warm in a 200-degree oven or reheat in the air fryer for best results.
- Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days; do not freeze cooked wedges.
- Reheat leftovers in the air fryer for 5-10 minutes for best texture; microwaving will soften them.
- Try dipping with ketchup, sour cream, aioli, or Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
