Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Wedges
- 1 medium to large sweet potato
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for cooking the wedges.
- Cut Sweet Potatoes: Cut the sweet potato in half, then cut each half into 4 equal wedges, making a total of 8 wedges.
- Season Wedges: Whisk together chili powder, sea salt, black pepper, and ground cumin in a small bowl, then sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over the sweet potato wedges.
- Coat with Oil: Pour olive oil over the wedges and use tongs to toss and coat the wedges evenly with both oil and spices to ensure good flavor and crispiness.
- Cook Wedges: Place the wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes, then flip the wedges and cook for an additional 10 minutes or until your desired crispness is reached.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the wedges from the air fryer, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite dips like ketchup, sour cream, aioli, or Greek yogurt.
Notes
- Use a sharp knife and a non-slip cutting board to carefully cut the sweet potatoes into wedges.
- Pat dry the sweet potato wedges with a paper towel before seasoning to avoid soggy wedges.
- These wedges have a crispiness level between roasted potatoes and fries; adjust air fryer timing for preference.
- Ketchup, sour cream, aioli, or Greek yogurt make excellent dipping options.
- Serve wedges immediately for best texture; keep warm in an oven at 200 degrees if needed.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days; do not freeze cooked wedges.
- Reheat leftovers in the air fryer for 5-10 minutes to maintain crispiness; microwaving will yield a softer texture.
