Scale
Sweet Potato Wedges
- 1 medium to large sweet potato
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- fresh parsley for garnish if desired
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure even cooking.
- Cut Sweet Potatoes: Cut the sweet potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4 equal wedges to make a total of 8 wedges.
- Mix Spices: In a small bowl, whisk together the chili powder, sea salt, black pepper, and ground cumin.
- Season and Coat: Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the sweet potato wedges. Pour olive oil over the wedges and toss them gently using tongs to coat all pieces evenly with oil and spices.

- Garnish and Serve: Remove the wedges from the air fryer, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite sauces or dips.
Notes
- Be cautious when cutting sweet potatoes; use a sharp knife and a non-slip cutting board to avoid injury.
- Dry sweet potatoes with a paper towel before adding oil and spices to prevent sogginess.
- These wedges have a crispness between roasted potatoes and fries; adjust air fryer time to achieve your preferred texture.
- Serve immediately for best texture; leftover wedges can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
- Avoid freezing cooked sweet potato wedges as it affects texture negatively.
- Reheat leftovers in the air fryer for 5-10 minutes to restore crispiness or microwave for convenience, noting it may reduce crispiness.
- Great dips include ketchup, sour cream, aioli, or a healthier option like Greek yogurt.
- Keep leftovers warm in a 200-degree oven if serving later to maintain texture.
