Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Cut sweet potatoes into even 1/4-inch sticks. Pat dry thoroughly.
- 2
Toss with olive oil and cornstarch until evenly coated. Add seasonings and toss again.
- 3
Arrange in a single layer — don't overcrowd. Air fry at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, shaking every 5 minutes.
- 4
They're done when crispy on the edges. Season with extra salt while hot.
- 5
Serve with chipotle mayo, maple mustard, or ketchup.
Tip: Cornstarch is absolutely essential for crispy sweet potato fries — without it, the natural sugars make them limp. Cut thin and uniform for even cooking.
