Directions
-
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). This step is critical as it ensures that your sweet potato wedges will cook evenly and achieve that tremendous crunch everyone loves.
-
Wash and cut the sweet potatoes into wedges. First, give them a good scrub under running water to remove any dirt. Next, cut each sweet potato lengthwise into halves, and then cut each half into wedge-shaped pieces about 1 inch thick. This size allows for cooking that is both quick and efficient.
-
In a bowl, toss the sweet potato wedges with olive oil, cinnamon, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well-coated. Use your hands or a spatula to make sure every wedge is evenly covered in the flavorful mixture. A tremendous blend of spices will enhance the natural sweetness of the potatoes.
-
Place the wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the basket to ensure ample airflow, which helps achieve that crispy finish. If necessary, cook in batches to give each wedge the attention it deserves.
-
Cook for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden and crispy. The timing may vary depending on the thickness of your wedges and the specific model of your air fryer. Keep an eye on them, as the wonderful aroma will alert you to their readiness.
-
Serve immediately. Allow the sweet potato wedges to cool briefly, as they will be hot! Enjoy them fresh out of the air fryer, perhaps with a dip of your choice, and savor the flavors of your hard work.
