Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs sweet potatoes, scrubbed and sliced into wedges
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions:

  1. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Slice each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 6-8 even wedges. Use a paper towel to pat the wedges completely dry.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the wedges with olive oil until every surface is glistening. Sprinkle in the salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Toss again until spices are evenly distributed.
  3. Place the wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer, cooking in batches if needed. Set the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) and cook for 15 minutes.
  4. Halfway through the cooking time, shake the basket vigorously or flip the wedges with tongs. Remove when the edges are mahogany-colored and crisp. Immediately sprinkle with smoked paprika to prevent bitter burning.
  5. Optional: For the garlic aioli, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl and mix until smooth.
