Sweet Potato Fries in the air fryer are little crispy bits of goodness. A little sweet, a little savory and perfectly cooked.
I love using my air fryer because it’s so much quicker! You can get food crispy which is my favorite part. That’s the best part of these sweet potatoes in the air fryer, the little crispy parts. And only in about 10 minutes.
Plus, this dipping sauce is my favorite part. I’m a sucker for a good dipping sauce and this one is good.
How to Cut Sweet Potatoes?
The specifics for this recipe for sweet potato fries in the air fryer is for wedges. I don’t play favorites though, I love all the varieties of a sweet potato. Wedge, stick, baked potato, mashed. I love them all.
Specifically for the wedges, you want to cut off each end of the sweet potato. Then slice the potato into 1/2 inch slices and cut 1/4 inch strips from each of those slices. (see video)
The seasoning...the best part
The seasoning isn my favorite part. It’s sweet, salty, spicy, and savory. The perfect combo for these sweet potatoes in the air fryer.
This seasoning mix is made up of salt, pepper, paprika, cayenne, onion, garlic, and cinnamon. It’s incredible! I go light on the cayenne because I’m a wimp with spice, but if you like spice then add some more and spice it up.

Dipping Sauce:
1/4 cup mayo

Instructions
1. Cut the sweet potatoes: To make the wedges, first cut off each end of the potato. Then cut the potato in half, then each of those sides in half and then in half again until you have long wedges. Next cut the long wedges in half again to make shorter wedges.

3. Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees and spray the basket with nonstick spray. Place the wedges in the basket in a single layer. You may have to do these in two batches. Cook for 8 minutes and then turn the wedges, then cook another 7 minutes.
4. While the wedges are cooking, make the dipping sauce. In a small bowl, add the mayo, mustard, bbq sauce and honey. Mix together.
5. Remove the wedges and plate up, start dipping and enjoy!

I looked up your page just to see what you used to make the sauce because I saw a quick clip of the potato wedge part with out the sauce… wasn’t even sure if I planned to use you exact recipe… but when I saw that you sauce recipe resembled a favorite my pleasure chicken sauce… I thought I’d follow the recipe because hopefully it will be good together… it was hands down my entire family’s favorite Sweet Potato wedges/fries what have you… I have never made them so good… actually always hated them when making “fries”… never liked them from restaurants either… my kids have here and there but seriously we couldn’t get enough of these. I used a 3 pound bag, doubled the seasoning except kept the cyan pepper at 1/4 tsp…. Instead of make the sauce this time we used the similar bottled Version… we could eat these with or with a dip. Making them again tomorrow because we have another bag of sweet potatoes. Thanks for a great recipe. Shockingly surprised at how good they were!
