Ingredients For Sweet Potato Fries
You only need 3 simple ingredients to make these easy, tasty, sweet potato fries!
Are These Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries Crispy?
No, they’re not. Even though they are being cooked in an air “fryer”, they are on the thicker side and won’t be as crispy as deep fried sweet potato fries. T are some recipes that call for extra steps and ingredients to try and achieve a crispier texture, but we went with a simple, less complicated method for these sweet potato fries, and they still turned out super delicious!
What to Serve With Sweet POtato Fries?
If you love a good dipping sauce, then try serving these sweet potato fries with our Comeback Sauce or our Mayo Ketchup. And since you already have the air fryer out, you could easily pair these with some Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets or maybe some Baked Chicken Wings. And the sweet and spicy flavor of the fries would taste great with some smokey BBQ Bean Sliders or BBQ Chicken Quesadillas. But of course you can always add these on the side with some Smash Burgers or Bacon Ranch Turkey Burgers too!
