Notes
Make sure to check your air fryer manual for cook time guidelines for your specific model, as times and temperatures vary depending on the type of air fryer you have.
To cut the peeled sweet potatoes, cut off the skinny ends with a sharp knife and then cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise. This will make it easier to lay them flat on a cutting board and cut them into long slices. The thinner you cut them, the more crispy your air fryer fries will be.
Don’t overcrowd the air-fryer basket, or you may end up steaming your fries rather than crisping them. If you have lots of fries, you can make a second batch if needed.
