Are Sweet Potato Fries Healthy?
YES! Sweet potatoes are very nutrient dense and good for you. They are loaded with vitamins and minerals, have tons of fiber and are filling too. They are also high in an antioxidant, beta carotene!

Charred Sweet Potato Fries In The Air Fryer
I love sweet potatoes any way, mashed, fried, baked and even in salads! But these air fryer charred sweet potatoes fries might just be my favorite way. They are crispy, sweet and that little bit of char gives them a delicious grilled earthy flavor.
Making sweet potato fries is super easy in the air fryer. Just chop, season, cook and eat.
INGREDIENTS
- Sweet potatoes, you need about 1 lb of sweet potatoes for this recipe. That could be one large or 2 small.
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Pink Himalayan Sea Salt , I love how chunky this salt is, if you don’t have this type of salt you can use regular salt. Himalayan sea salt also has health benefits, like 84 natural minerals.
How To Make Sweet Potato Fries in the Air Fryer
First peel the sweet potatoes and rinse if needed.
Cut into fry shape like shown below. They are a little difficult to get cut into a uniform size, you can use a fry cutter to get even fries easily.
Cut the sweet potatoes into slices first.
Then cut them into fries, try to keep them even thickness.
Put the fries in a mixing bowl and mix with oil and salt.
Place into Air Fryer. Cook at 370° for 10 minutes.
Move fries around. Cook again at 400° for 7-8 minutes until charred to your liking.
Repeat the steps if your air fryer is too small for all your fries, this will depend on the air fryer.
ENJOY!
Dip in ketchup or barbecue sauce if you like.
