Wash sweet potatoes and cut it into even sized fries shape. You can leave the skin on if you like. I generally peel them.
Soak the fries for about 30 minutes in chilled water. Drain the water and dry them well.
Now add 2 tsp. oil, salt, pepper, cayenne and Italian seasoning to the fries and mix well.
Preheat Airfryer for 3 minutes to 180C or 360F.
Lay the sweet potato fries to the Airfryer basket.
Brush the air fryer basket with a little oil before adding the fries. I add the entire batch of fries at one go.
Cook in the Airfryer for about 10-12 minutes at 180C or 360F. Keep shaking the basket once every 3-4 minutes to ensure even cooking of the fries.
Then increase the temperature to 200 C or 400 F and air fry for 4-5 minutes till crispy outside.
Once crispy outside, remove them and serve hot with ketchup or dip of your choice.
Pro-Tips
- Cut the fries evenly in uniform shape. This ensures uniform cooking.
