Crispy and flavorful frozen sweet potato fries cooked to perfection in an air fryer, served with a tangy homemade dipping sauce combining Dijon mustard, honey, barbecue sauce, and mayonnaise for a perfect snack or side dish.

  • Total Time: 17 minutes
  • Yield: 7 servings

Ingredients

Fries

  • 20 oz frozen sweet potato fries
  • cooking spray or vegetable oil (optional)
  • sea salt (optional)

Tangy Dipping Sauce

  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 4 tbsp barbecue sauce
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for cooking the fries.
  2. Prepare Fries: Lightly toss the frozen sweet potato fries with cooking spray or a small amount of vegetable oil if you prefer extra crispiness; sprinkle sea salt if desired.
  3. Arrange Fries: Place the fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer with minimal overlap to allow even cooking and crisping.
  4. Cook Fries: Cook the fries for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even browning. Check at 8-9 minutes to adjust time based on your air fryer model.
  5. Drain Fries: Once cooked, transfer the fries to a wire rack or paper towel to let them dry slightly and crisp up further before serving.
  6. Make Tangy Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, combine Dijon mustard, honey, barbecue sauce, and mayonnaise. Stir well until smooth and creamy.
  7. Serve: Serve the hot sweet potato fries with the tangy dipping sauce for a delicious and satisfying snack or side.

Notes

  • For extra crisp fries, lightly coat them with oil before air frying.
  • Cooking times may vary by air fryer model; keep an eye on fries starting at 8 minutes.
  • Using a wire rack helps fries stay crispy instead of soggy.
  • The dipping sauce can be adjusted by adding more honey for sweetness or more mustard for tanginess.
  • These fries can also be baked in a conventional oven at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
