    THE BEST AIR FRYER SWEET POTATO FRIES

    Making frozen sweet potato fries in the air fryer is my preferred method for cooking these delicious fries.

    It's by far the quickest - and easiest - method and the air fryer uses no oil, so the fries have less fat and fewer calories than the deep-fried version. 

    With that said, these frozen sweet potato fries won't get quite as crispy as deep-frying them, but they still have a perfectly crisp outside with a tender inside. And, of course, as I alluded to earlier, making frozen sweet potato fries air fryer style is much healthier. 

    Also, if you have kids, they'll love these fries in air fryer too, and I have a feeling this will become a regular thing to make in your house after you make 'em once. At least it has in mine, and we make them along with these air fryer frozen chicken nuggets or air fryer frozen mozzarella sticks every single week!

    INGREDIENTS

    So, you'll only need 1 ingredient for this recipe, and you probably know what that ingredient is - frozen sweet potato fries.

    I used the crinkle cut sweet potato fries by Alexia, but they also make waffle cut and straight cut French fry as well. And I really like the seasoning the Alexia brand puts on the fries, so that's why these are my go-to.

    With that said though, you can use any brand of frozen sweet potato fries in air fryer, and they'll still turn out incredible.

    HOW TO COOK FROZEN SWEET POTATO FRIES IN AIR FRYER

    As I mentioned earlier, the process of making these air fryer frozen sweet potato fries is incredibly quick and easy.

    All you need is your air fryer and any frozen sweet potato fries that you want! So, grab those two things, and let's get to it.

    STEP 1: PREPPING THE FRIES

    To make them put as many fries as you want in your air fryer basket. Just make sure that you don't overcrowd the basket, and the fries lie flat. 

    I fit 225g in my air fryer, but the amount you can cook at once will depend on how big your air fryer is.

    STEP 2: COOKING THE FRIES

    Then air fry them at 400°F (205°C) for 5 minutes, give the air fryer basket a shake or flip the fries, and cook for about 5 more minutes. 

    Once the fries reach your desired doneness, let them sit in the basket for a few minutes after the time is up - this will help them crisp up a little more.  

    When they crisp up, take the fries out of the air fryer, serve them with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
