Description
Crispy air fryer sweet potato wedges with smoky spices and tender centers. This is a quick and wholesome side dish.
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 12 ounces each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 quarter teaspoon black pepper
- 1 half teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 half teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 eighth teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes.
- Scrub the sweet potatoes and pat them completely dry. Trim off the ends and cut each potato in half lengthwise, then slice into evenly sized wedges about three quarters inch thick.
- Place the wedges in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat them evenly.
- In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cinnamon. Sprinkle the seasoning over the wedges and toss until evenly coated.
- Arrange the sweet potato wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each piece for air circulation. Cook in batches if needed.
- Air fry at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 minutes. Open the basket and flip or shake the wedges.
- Continue cooking for another 5 to 7 minutes until the edges are browned and crisp and a fork easily pierces the center. Thicker wedges may need an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
- Serve immediately while hot and crisp.
Notes
- Cut the wedges into similar thickness so they cook evenly and crisp at the same time.
