How to make sweet potato wedges in the air fryer?
- Prepare the sweet potatoes : wash them well (you can keep the skin on!), then cut them into thick wedges (avoid slices that are too thin to keep them moist).
- Dry the pieces well with a clean cloth or paper towel. The drier they are, the crispier they will be!
- Season in a large salad bowl: add 1 tbsp of olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, herbs… Have fun with the spices 🧡.
- Arrange the wedges in a single layer in the Air Fryer basket. If they overlap, cook in 2 batches for even cooking.
- Cooking : 180°C program, starts for 18–22 min (350 g). Shake well halfway through cooking to brown each side.
- Finishing : Check the color. If necessary, add 2–3 minutes for caramelized edges. When removed, lightly salt and add a drizzle of olive oil or a pinch of smoked paprika to boost the flavor.
- Enjoy! Serve warm with a lemon yogurt sauce, some crumbled feta, or a green salad 🥗. The wedges are also perfect as a side dish or a healthy appetizer!
FAQ — Air Fryer Sweet Potato Wedges
Why aren't my wedges crispy?
You must pat the sweet potato dry before adding the oil, use enough fat (without drowning it!), and above all, do not overload the basket. A tip: add a little cornstarch or fine breadcrumbs before cooking for a crispier crust!
Do you need to peel sweet potatoes?
No, you can keep the skin (wash well)! It adds flavor and fiber, and helps the wedge keep its shape when cooked. If you prefer it without, peel it with a peeler.
How long does it take for nice and melting wedges?
About 18 to 22 min for 350g at 180°C. Thicker cut = more tender. Watch the end, the wedges should be golden outside and tender inside 😍.
Can we prepare in advance?
Yes! The wedges can be kept in the refrigerator for 2 days. Reheat them for 3–4 minutes in the Air Fryer to regain their crispiness. Ideal for meal prep or quick lunches!
Where to find good sweet potatoes?
