Ingredients
  

  • 2 large sweet potatoes about 2.5 lbs total
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • homemade mayonnaise optional condiment

Equipment

Instructions
 

  • Wash and peel the sweet potatoes.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
  • Place one sweet potato on a cutting board, trim the edges, and, using a chef’s knife, cut it lengthwise. Cut each half into 4-6 even wedges, about ¾-inch thick. Repeat with the second sweet potato.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the avocado oil, smoked paprika, dried minced onion, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne pepper.
  • Add the sweet potato wedges and toss until evenly coated.
  • Transfer half the wedges to the air fryer basket in a single layer without overcrowding. You will need to cook them in two or three batches so they crisp properly.
  • Cook for 10 minutes, shake the basket, then continue cooking for another 5–10 minutes until browned and crisp.
  • Transfer the sweet potato wedges to a serving platter and season with flaky sea salt, if desired.
  • Serve warm with my homemade mayonnaise.

Notes:

For the best texture, keep wedges evenly cut, and cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Air fryer models vary in wattage, basket size, and airflow, which can impact cooking time. Smaller or higher-powered air fryers may cook the sweet potato wedges faster, while larger models may take a few extra minutes. Start checking for doneness at the lower end of the time range and cook until the edges are browned and the centers are tender.
A note on Kosher salt: This recipe uses kosher salt. If you’re using table salt, use half the amount. Kosher salt has larger, airier crystals that take up more space, so a teaspoon of kosher salt actually contains less salt by weight than a teaspoon of table salt.
