Air Fryer Sweet Potato Wedges: Perfect Timing For Crispy Treats

Air fryer sweet potato wedges are a quick and easy side dish to make, with a cook time of around 15 to 20 minutes. They're also healthy, as they're cooked with just a drizzle of olive oil. To make them, you'll need to preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C), and then wash, dry and cut your sweet potatoes into wedges. Place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer, and cook until they're golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside.

How to cut sweet potatoes into wedges

To make sweet potato wedges in an air fryer, first preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C). Wash and dry the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Then, cut them into thick wedges, approximately ½ inch thick. To do this, first slice the sweet potato in half lengthwise. Then place the cut side down on your cutting board and carefully slice at an angle to create wedges. These can be as thin or thick as you like, but remember that the air fry time will vary based on thickness. The recommended cook time is for wedges about ¼-inch thick. Halve the sweet potatoes lengthwise and then cut each half into thirds or quarters, depending on the size of the sweet potato. Place all the wedges into a mixing bowl and drizzle them with 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil and all the seasonings.

Once the air fryer is heated, evenly space out the wedges inside the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding; if your air fryer is small, cook the wedges in two batches. Air fry the sweet potato wedges for 15 to 20 minutes, turning each wedge over with tongs halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispiness. Cook until the wedges are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. Use tongs to remove the sweet potato wedges from the air fryer and serve them hot.
