Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into fry shapes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions
- Soak the cut sweet potato fries in cold water for 30 minutes. Drain them well and pat them completely dry with paper towels. This step helps achieve crispiness.
- In a large bowl, toss the dry sweet potato fries with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (195°C).
- Place the seasoned fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
- Air fry for 10 minutes. Shake the basket well.
- Continue to air fry for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the fries are tender inside and slightly crispy outside.
- Remove the basket from the air fryer. Immediately toss the hot fries with the grated Parmesan cheese and fresh minced garlic, if using.
- Serve right away.
Notes
- Drying the potatoes thoroughly before seasoning is crucial for crisp results.
- If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, you can add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder to the Parmesan cheese mixture before tossing.
- For extra crispiness, you can spray the fries lightly with cooking spray halfway through the cooking time.
