These crispy air fryer sweet potato fries are infused with fresh rosemary and sea salt, delivering a perfect balance of tender inside and crispy outside. Ready in under 30 minutes, they make a delicious and healthy snack or side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into ¼-inch thick fries (about 400g or 14 oz)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)
  • 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel 2 medium sweet potatoes and slice into ¼-inch thick fries, about 5 inches long. Aim for uniform size so they cook evenly.
  2. Place the sliced fries in a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. (If short on time, 15 minutes works, but longer is better.)
  3. Drain the fries and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  4. Toss the dry fries in 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary, 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional). Mix well to coat evenly.
  5. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  6. Place the fries in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd. Cook for 15-18 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping fries halfway through. Keep an eye after 12 minutes to avoid burning.
  7. Check for doneness; fries should be golden brown with crispy edges and tender inside. Cook an extra 2-3 minutes if needed for more crunch.
  8. Serve immediately, optionally sprinkling additional sea salt or fresh rosemary.

Notes

Soaking the fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes removes excess starch and helps achieve crispiness. Dry fries thoroughly before seasoning. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation. Shake or toss fries halfway through cooking for even browning. If fries are not crispy enough, increase preheat time or slice thinner. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the air fryer at 375°F for 5-7 minutes.
