Air-Fryer Waffle Sweet Potato Fries Recipe

 

Crispy, sweet, and utterly addictive—all from your air fryer!

 

Why You'll Love This Recipe

 

Forget those greasy, deep-fried fries. Waffle Sweet Potato Fries prepared in your air fryer are perfectly crispy without and tender from inside and are healthier because they require only a drizzle of oil but still achieve that crunchy, crave-worthy texture. They will easily become the star of any table, whether as a side, a snack, or an appetizer.

 

 

Ingredients

 

•        2 large sweet potatoes, peeled (optional)

•        1–2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil

•        ½ tsp sea salt

•        ½ tsp paprika

•        ¼ tsp garlic powder

•        ¼ tsp black pepper

•        (Optional) 1 tbsp cornstarch for extra crispiness

 

For Dipping (optional):

 

•        Spicy mayo, chipotle aioli, or classic ketchup

 

Instructions

 

1. Prepare the Potatoes

 

Spray waffle-shaped sweet potatoes using a waffle cutter or mandoline. Cut these sweet potatoes to an even length of about ¼ inch for uniform cooking.

 

2. Soak and Dry

 

Soak the slices in cold water for 20–30 minutes to drain excess starch. This provides maximum crispness. Drain and dry with a clean towel.

 

3. Season the Fries

 

Combine olive oil, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper in a giant bowl with fries. Add cornstarch if you want extra crunch.

 

Air-Fry to Perfection

 

Set preheat on an air fryer for 190°C-375°F. Set fries without overcrowding the basket as a single layer. Air fry fries for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and crisp, shifting halfway.

 

Serve and Enjoy

 

Sprinkled with just a pinch of sea salt, immediately served with any of your favorite dips. Perfect with a drizzle of honey for a sweet-savory kick, or spicy sriracha mayo for that added sweet-savory kick!

 

 

Your Best Tip for Best Results

 

-Don't forget to soak because it is the secrete of crispy fries.
