Crispy Sweet Potato Fries with a Kick: A Healthier Snack Option
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0 to taste freshly ground black pepper
- 0 optional fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato fries with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss well until all fries are evenly coated.
- Place the seasoned sweet potato fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding for the best crispiness.
- Air fry the sweet potato fries for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure they cook evenly. Fry until they're golden and crispy on the outside.
- Once cooked, remove the fries from the basket and serve immediately. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color.
