Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries Recipe Tips:
- Store any leftovers (although we doubt you’ll have any) in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
- To reheat, simply place in the air fryer for about 3-5 minutes to get crispy again.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake these in the oven at 425 for 15 minutes. Then flip and cook for another 10 minutes.
- Substitute any other spices if desired – cinnamon sugar is a delicious alternative!
