These air fryer sweet potato wedges are seasoned with garlic and air-fried until crispy and caramelized, creating a sweet and savory side or snack perfect for any occasion.
Wash the sweet potatoes and cut them into wedges. Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees.
Add the sweet potato wedges, oil, and seasonings to a large mixing bowl and stir or toss until evenly coated.
Place the wedges in a single layer in the air fryer and cook for 10 minutes. Then, give them a good shake and continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes until crispy on the outside and fork-tender.
If the wedges aren't fully cooked and crispy, give them another 3 minutes.
Notes
Storage
Refrigerate for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
Chill the wedges, then freeze them for up to 3 months in an airtight, freezer-safe container.
Defrost if frozen and bake at 375 for 3 to 5 minutes until crispy again.
Tips
There's no need to peel the sweet potatoes before air-frying them. However, you can if you prefer.
Select sweet potatoes that are firm and have no markings or blemishes on the skin. The skin shouldn't look shriveled or wrinkly, either.
Preheat your air fryer to ensure even cooking and accurate cooking times. It only takes about 5 minutes, and it's so worth it!
Coating the wedges in oil eliminates the need to brush your basket with oil.
