Steps

  1. 1

    Cut sweet potatoes into even wedges. Toss with olive oil and cornstarch until coated.

  2. 2

    Add paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and cayenne. Toss to coat evenly.

  3. 3

    Arrange in a single layer, skin-side down. Air fry at 400°F for 18-22 minutes, flipping halfway.
