  • Meanwhile, season the sweet potato strips. Start by transferring the fry-sized sweet potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle them with olive oil and toss until fully covered. Next, add the aromatics such as paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well until the sweet potato strips are evenly coated with the seasonings.

  • Air fry sweet potato fries for 15-18 minutes. First, carefully add a single layer of the seasoned sweet potato strips to the air fryer basket. Flip or shake them halfway through the cooking process to ensure even browning. Continue cooking until they are golden and crispy.

  • Prepare the spicy mayo dipping sauce by combining 2 tablespoons of Kewpie mayo and 2 teaspoons of sriracha sauce in a small bowl. If you prefer a spicier sauce, you can add more sriracha according to your taste. Alternatively, if you don't enjoy spicy flavors, you can substitute the sriracha with ketchup to create a more traditional fry sauce.

Notes

  • For 4-quart air fryers and smaller, reduce the cooking temperature to 360°F (182°C). They generate more heat because of the heating element's proximity to the food.
  • If your air fryer doesn't have a preheating option, you can set it to your desired temperature and then let it cook for 4-5 minutes without food.
  • I used a 6-quart Instant Pot Vortex Plus to test the air fryer sweet potato fries recipe. Cooking time and temperature may vary depending on your air fryer and the number of servings you are making. For optimal results, begin with the lower end of the suggested cooking time.
  • Avoid overfilling your air fryer basket. For the best results, only cook fresh sweet potato fries up to ¼ of its capacity. The more you add, the longer the cooking time will be.
