    I have to confess that I LOVE Sweet Potato Fries! Whether it is the fries or making a fun dipping sauce, they are one of my favorite late-night snacks.

    I can skip the popcorn for movie nights and savor some epic fries. Yum!

    It is an easy side dish for family dinners, barbecues, or afternoon snacks.

    We are still having so much fun making air fryer recipes. I am so in awe of the recipes we are now making with the air fryer instead of our conventional oven.

    Do you find yourself using the air fryer more than your oven now?

    When we bought our first air fryer, I thought it would be one of those small appliances I pulled out randomly, but the opposite has been the case. The air fryer now has a permanent space on our kitchen counter.

    Ingredients

    Here is a quick overview of the simple ingredients needed to make epic Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries! The printable recipe card at the bottom of the post includes specific measurements and step-by-step instructions.

    • Frozen Sweet Potato Fries

    Equipment Needed

    • Air Fryer: We suggest getting an air fryer bigger than you think you will need. Once we started using it, we used it for more and larger meals.
    • Olive Oil Cooking Spray
    • Kitchen Tongs: We highly suggest getting a good pair of kitchen tongs to remove items from the air fryer and save your hands from getting burned.

    I've included complete instructions in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post, but here's a quick version.

    Spread frozen sweet potato fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket.

    Air fry for 4 minutes, shake the basket, then air fry for 4-6 additional minutes until nice and crisp.

    Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.

    Preparation and Storage

    Make Ahead: We do not preheat the air fryer for this recipe.

    Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container and enjoy them within three to four days.

    Freezing/How to Freeze: We do not suggest refreezing leftover sweet potato fries. Too many temperature changes may make them unsafe to eat.

    How to Reheat: Reheat cooked leftovers in your air fryer for crispy, golden-brown sweet potato fries.

    Recipe Variations

    Substitutions:ย 

    You can use any name-brand or store-brand frozen sweet potatoes. Alexia Sweet Potato Fries is one of our favorites.

    In the recipe photos, we used julienne fries, but you can cook any cut of fries, including waffle fries, in your air fryer.

    Vegetarian + Vegan Option: This air fryer recipe is 100 percent plant-based! Air Fry Sweet Potato Fries are a fantastic complement to any vegetarian or vegan meal.

    Gluten-Free: Ingredient lists vary across brands, so look for a gluten-free label on your frozen sweet potato fries to avoid cross-contamination.

    Smaller Serving Size + Larger Group/More Servings:ย 

    We made this guide with a 10-ounce bag of frozen sweet potato fries. The number of fries you can cook depends on how many you can fit in a single layer in your air fryer. You want the hot air to be able to circulate them.

    We suggest watching the fries the first time you make them and adjusting the cooking time up or down as needed.

    Make It Spicy:

    You can also add a kick of heat to your sweet potato fries experience with a spicy dipping sauce, like our Japanese Spicy Mayo or Boom Boom Sauce.

    Sugar-Free:

    Nutritional content varies across brands, so check the label on yours before buying if you are watching your sugar intake. Sweet potato fries contain 5 to 7 grams of sugar per serving.

    Tips for the Best Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries

    • Every air fryer cooks a little differently, so watch the sweet potato fries the first time you make them to adjust the cooking time as needed.
    • We use olive oil cooking spray on the air fryer basket. We have heard that non-stick spray can damage the air fryer basket, so we use olive oil spray instead.
