Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch sticks
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them into uniform sticks approximately 1/2 inch thick.
  2. Pat the sweet potato sticks thoroughly dry with paper towels to remove excess surface moisture.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato sticks with avocado oil until evenly coated.
  4. In a small ramekin, combine cornstarch, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the oil-coated potatoes and toss again until every fry has a light, powdery coating.
  6. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
  7. Arrange the fries in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for maximum airflow.
  8. Cook for 15–20 minutes, shaking the basket vigorously every 5 minutes until the fries are mahogany-colored and crisp.
