How to Make Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F and let it heat for about 5 minutes.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin fries, about 1/4 inch thick.
Place the cut sweet potatoes in a large bowl and drizzle with avocado oil. Toss well to ensure they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the fries and toss again to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Transfer the seasoned fries to the air fryer basket, arranging them in a single layer without overcrowding. If needed, cook in batches for the best results.
Set the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) and cook the fries for 18-20 minutes. Shake the basket every 5-7 minutes to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
The fries should turn crispy and golden brown.
Once done, remove the sweet potato fries from the air fryer and serve immediately.
