Crispy Air Fryer Sweet Potato Wedges
These air fryer sweet potato wedges come out golden and crispy on the outside with a soft, tender center every time. Seasoned with garlic, smoked paprika, and cumin, they make an easy, healthier side dish ready in about 25 minutes.
Equipment
- Air fryer
- Paper towels
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes scrubbed and dried (about 13 to 14 ounces total)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Halve each sweet potato lengthwise. Cut each half into 4 even wedges, about 1/2 inch thick at the widest point.
- Pat the wedges completely dry with paper towels.
- Toss the wedges in a large bowl with the olive oil until evenly coated.
- Add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cumin. Toss again until evenly coated.
- Arrange the wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between pieces. Cook in batches if needed.
- Air fry at 400°F for 10 minutes.
- Flip or shake the basket to expose the uncooked sides.
- Air fry for an additional 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges are golden and a fork slides into the thickest wedge with slight resistance.
- Rest for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
Notes
Chef's Tip: Pat the wedges completely dry before adding the oil. Any surface moisture turns to steam in the air fryer and stops the wedges from crisping properly.
