Ingredients & Substitutions

Sweet Potatoes: Sweet potatoes are a great source of beta-carotene (a powerful antioxidant), fiber, iron, calcium, and vitamins. Look for potatoes that are similar in size and try to cut them into equal-sized sticks. I left the skins on the potatoes, but you can certainly peel the potatoes if preferred.

Oil: Extra virgin olive oil, a healthier choice among cooking oils, helps the sweet potato fries achieve that crispy texture on the outside.

Seasonings: All I added to the sweet potatoes was a little salt and pepper.

Storing & Reheating Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries

Store leftover sweet potato fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will last up to 3-4 days. To reheat the fries, use the air fryer or the oven. If reheating in the microwave, they will lose the crispy texture.
