Steps

Prep the Potatoes - the sweet potatoes into ¼-inch-thick slices, making sure they are all uniform in size for even cooking.
Drizzle Oil - Add the fries to a large mixing bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and toss to combine.
Season - In a separate dish, combine the salt, pepper, garlic, and paprika. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the potatoes and toss to combine.
Air Fry - Transfer the fries to an air fryer basket and cook in a basket-style air fryer at 375°F for about 12-14 minutes or a toaster-style air fryer at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway. Air fry until golden brown and crisp on the outside. Timing may vary depending on the air fryer style you have.
Serve - Garnish with cilantro or grated parmesan if desired and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

These were fabulous! I got an air fryer for Xmas and I am still learning how to cook with it. These came out perfectly! Loved the seasoning. Thanks for the great recipe!

Susanna, try the crock pot pulled pork, the sloppy joe, and the shredded beef on this site. They work great with the fries. Not a lot of work when you get home in the evening. You can also use the sandwiches with the crispy fried zucchini, the mozzarella cheese sticks. All the recipes on this site are great. Thank you Natasha!
