How to Make Crispy Sweet Potato Fries in the Air Fryer (Step-by-Step)
-
Prep the Potatoes: Wash, peel, and cut the sweet potatoes into thin, uniform strips.
-
Season: Toss the sweet potato strips in olive oil, garlic powder, dill, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
-
Preheat: Heat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3–5 minutes.
-
Air Fry: Place the sweet potato strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket—avoid overcrowding. Cook for 12–15 minutes, shaking or flipping halfway through.
-
Repeat: Cook in batches until all the fries are golden brown and crispy.
-
Serve: Enjoy hot, with your favorite dipping sauce!
👉 Time-Saving Tip: Pre-cut the sweet potatoes in advance and store them in water in the fridge for up to 24 hours. This cuts down on prep time when you’re ready to cook.

Storage, Freezing & Meal Prep Tips
-
Storage: Leftover fries can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
-
Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer at 375°F for 3–5 minutes to bring back the crispiness.
-
Freezing: While best fresh, you can freeze the uncooked, seasoned fries and cook them straight from frozen—just add a few extra minutes to the cook time.
