Ingredients
2 lb (4–6 medium) sweet potatoes, unpeeled
2 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
3/4 tsp sea salt (plus more to taste)
1/4 tsp black pepper (plus more to taste)
Optional Add-ins / Variations:
1–2 tsp dried rosemary, thyme, or Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp cinnamon, cumin, chili powder, or smoked paprika
1–2 tbsp maple syrup (regular or sugar-free)
Instructions
- Prep the sweet potatoes: Wash and dry the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Cut into evenly sized wedges so they cook uniformly.
- Season the wedges: In a large bowl, toss sweet potato wedges with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange in air fryer: Place the wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding; cook in batches if needed.
- Cook: Air fry at 390°F (199°C) for 15–20 minutes. Flip or shake the wedges halfway through cooking for even browning. Wedges are done when golden, crispy, and fork-tender.
- Optional finishing touch: Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper after cooking, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Sweet potato sizes vary, so adjust cooking times accordingly.
- You can experiment with different seasonings and herbs based on your flavor preference.
- Air frying yields the best crispness, but you can also bake in the oven at 425°F (220°C) for 25–30 minutes as an alternative.
