Frozen Sweet Potato Fries in the Air Fryer
Use my tips and tricks for making perfectly crispy frozen sweet potato fries in the air fryer every time! The perfect snack or vegetable side dish! They're ready in under 20 minutes!
Equipment
- Air Fryer or Instant Pot Air Fryer Lid
Ingredients
- 1 Package Frozen Sweet Potato Fries
- Oil Sprayer* optional
- Salt and pepper optional
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 380 °F (190 °C) for 5 minutes.
- While the air fryer preheats, lightly spray the sweet potato fries (still frozen, no need to thaw) with the oil sprayer and season with salt and pepper.
- Place the frozen fries in the air fryer in a rough single layer, there should be some space for the hot air to circulate around the fries.
- Air fry the sweet potato fries for 10 minutes at 380 °F (190 °C) then flip and air fry for a further 4 - 7 minutes until the fries are crispy and slightly browned at the ends.
- Serve the sweet potato fries with ketchup, mayonnaise, or your favorite dipping sauce. Or you can serve it as a side to a main dish, like with hamburgers. You can also eat them all on their own as a quick snack!
Notes
Storage
I would recommend making just enough sweet potato fries at a time that you need. It also makes sure you don't over-crowd the air fryer basket and undercook your fries!
However, you can store any leftover fries you may have in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Reheat in the air fryer for a quick, easy snack!
These ingredients don't stand up well to freezing.
Remember: Do not use aerosol oil sprayers in your air fryer as they will damage the non-stick layer of the air fryer basket and oven. Use an oil sprayer bottle filled with a neutral oil like vegetable or olive oil, instead for best results.
