These golden wedges are lightly seasoned to enhance the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes and cooked to crispy perfection using an air fryer, making them a nutritious snack or side dish everyone will love.

Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potato Wedges

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, firm and fresh
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Cut them into evenly sized wedges about ½ inch thick to ensure uniform cooking and a crispy outside while staying tender inside.
  2. Season the Wedges: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato wedges with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if using. Coat each wedge evenly for maximum flavor and crispiness.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for 3 to 5 minutes. Preheating helps achieve a crisp texture right from the start of cooking.
  4. Cook the Wedges: Arrange the seasoned wedges in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure they have room for hot air circulation. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to brown all sides evenly.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once golden and crispy, remove the sweet potato wedges and serve hot with your favorite dip or seasoning. They are best enjoyed fresh and warm.

Notes

  • Cut even wedges for consistent cooking and perfect texture.
  • Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if needed to allow air circulation.
  • Use just enough oil to lightly coat the wedges for crispness without greasiness.
  • Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
  • Use fresh spices for the best flavor impact.
