  • Total Time: 17 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 430 g sweet potatoes
  • 1 tsp oil
  • 1 tsp Cajun seasoning (such as Bart’s Cajun seasoning)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes if preferred, or leave the skins on after thoroughly scrubbing them clean. Then slice the sweet potatoes into fries approximately 1 cm thick.
  2. Toss with Seasoning and Oil: Place the sliced fries in a bowl and toss them with 1 teaspoon of oil and 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning to evenly coat all the pieces.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 190°C (374°F) and allow it to preheat. This ensures the fries begin cooking at the right temperature immediately.
  4. Air Fry the Fries: Place the seasoned fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overcrowding. If your air fryer basket is small, cook in batches to ensure crispiness.
  5. Cook and Shake: Cook the fries for a total of 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even cooking and browning.

Notes

  • You can leave the sweet potato skins on for extra texture and nutrients if you prefer.
  • Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to achieve optimal crispiness.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly depending on the size and thickness of your fries and your air fryer model.
  • Substitute Cajun seasoning with your preferred spice blend for different flavor variations.
