Open in Pepper →Sweet Potatoes That Crisp Up Fast
A sweet potato is usually the cheapest thing in the produce drawer, and it turns into a side everybody at the table will actually eat. The air fryer gets the edges crisp in a fraction of the time the oven takes.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection on the nights the main dish is already handled and the side needs to be done in twenty minutes, or when they want something a little sweet next to chicken or pork.
Every recipe here is a real sweet potato side: plain Sweet Potato Fries with garlic salt, Air Fryer Parmesan Sweet Potato Fries, Crispy Sweet Potato Wedges, Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey & Feta, Roasted Sweet Potatoes & Brussels Sprouts, and Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes with marshmallows for the holidays.
Quick Tips
- 1
Cut them the same size
Aim for fries about 1/4 inch thick or rounds about 1/2 inch. Uneven pieces mean some burn while others stay soft.
- 2
Soak the fries first
Cover cut fries with cold water for 30 minutes, then dry them well. The rinsed-off starch is what keeps them from going limp.
- 3
Cook in one layer
Fill the basket no more than two-thirds full and work in two batches if you need to. Piled-up potatoes steam instead of crisping.
- 4
Shake the basket twice
Give it a good shake every 5 to 6 minutes so the sides that were touching get browned too.
