Ingredients

  • Medium-sized firm sweet potatoes (Beauregard or Jewel)
  • Olive oil or avocado oil
  • Cornstarch (Optional)
  • Sea salt
  • Black pepper
  • Smoked paprika
  • Garlic powder
  • Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • Lime juice
  • Garlic (1 small clove)
  • Honey or maple syrup (Optional)
  • Salt (for seasoning the dip)
  • Adobo sauce (from chipotle peppers)

Instructions

  1. First, scrub your sweet potatoes. Leave the skin on for a rustic finish and cut them into uniform 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick sticks.
  2. Soak the cut fries in cold water for 30 minutes, then pat them completely dry with paper towels.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the dried sweet potato fries with 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil until lightly coated.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1-2 teaspoons of cornstarch (if using). Toss thoroughly until all fries are evenly coated.
  5. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes.
  6. Arrange the seasoned fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket, cooking in 2-3 batches if necessary.
  7. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket vigorously every 5-7 minutes until the fries are tender inside and golden brown and crispy outside.
  8. Transfer the cooked fries to a platter and sprinkle with a little extra salt if desired.
  9. While fries are cooking, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1-2 deseeded and minced chipotle peppers, 1-2 teaspoons adobo sauce, 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, 1 small minced garlic clove, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
  10. Stir well until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  11. Serve the hot, crispy Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries immediately with the creamy chipotle dip on the side.

Nutrition

Keywords: Ensure sweet potatoes are cut uniformly for even cooking. Soak fries to remove excess starch and achieve maximum crispiness. Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket for best results.
