Provided by Samuel Goldsmith

Categories     Side dish

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 sweet potatoes
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp sweet smoked paprika or other seasonings such as Cajun seasoning, BBQ seasoning or garlic granules
½ tsp mixed herbs

Steps:

  • Peel the sweet potatoes and slice into ½ cm sticks. Put in a bowl, drizzle over the oil and give them a good toss to coat. Sprinkle over the paprika, mixed herbs and ½ tsp each of salt and pepper, then give it all a good mix with your hands to ensure it's evenly coated.
  • Cook, in batches, in a single layer in your air fryer basket for around 10-15 mins, until lightly golden, giving a little shake or toss after 5 mins. Once all the batches have cooked, return the fries to the air fryer, give it a good shake and cook for a further 1-2 mins to heat through.

Tips:

  • For perfectly crispy results, make sure to cut the sweet potatoes into even-sized wedges. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Toss the sweet potato wedges in a mixture of oil, salt, and pepper before air frying. This will help them to brown and crisp up.
  • Air fry the sweet potato wedges in a single layer. Overcrowding the air fryer basket will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Shake the air fryer basket halfway through the cooking time. This will help to ensure that the sweet potato wedges cook evenly.
  • Serve the air-fried sweet potato wedges immediately. They're best when eaten hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Air-fried sweet potato wedges are a delicious and healthy snack or side dish. They're easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little creativity, you can also experiment with different seasonings to create your own unique flavor combinations.
