Air Fryer Sweet Potato Wedges
Sweet potato wedges cut thick, tossed with avocado oil and a garlic-paprika blend, and air fried at 400°F until the edges crisp and the centers turn soft. No soaking and no parboiling, so they go from cutting board to plate in about 25 minutes. Serve them as a side or a snack with whatever dipping sauce you have.

Equipment
- 1 air fryer
Ingredients
- 2 medium size American Garnet Yam
- 2 tablespoon Avocado Oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ¾ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Paprika
- ⅛ teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
- Peel the sweet potato and trim both ends. Halve it lengthwise, lay each half cut side down, and halve again. Slice each quarter into 2 or 3 wedges, keeping them even in thickness. Trim off any very thin end pieces.2 medium size American Garnet Yam
- Pat the wedges dry. Toss with the avocado oil until coated, then add the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper and toss again.2 tablespoon Avocado Oil, 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder, ¾ teaspoon Salt, ½ teaspoon Paprika, ⅛ teaspoon Black Pepper
- Arrange in a single layer in the preheated basket with space between the wedges. Cook in batches if needed.
- Air fry 15 to 18 minutes, flipping halfway through. They are done when the edges are crisp and a knife slides into the thickest wedge with no resistance.
- Season with a pinch of salt while hot and serve right away.
Notes
Air fryers vary. Start checking at 15 minutes, and knock 1 to 2 minutes off a second batch since the basket is already hot.
No soaking needed. Sweet potatoes have less starch than russets, so the soak makes little difference.
Oven method: 425°F on a preheated sheet pan, 20 minutes, flip, then 10 to 15 more.
Leftovers keep 4 days in the fridge. Reheat at 350°F for 4 to 5 minutes in the air fryer.
