Alexia Sweet Potato Fries Air Fryer TIPS
No Need to Add Oil: Most brands of frozen sweet potato fries have a vegetable oil blend in their ingredients. For this reason, I find that I don’t need to add any additional oil to get them to crisp up nicely. You may find that your particular brand needs a bit of oil though. If that’s the case, simple spritz them with oil before cooking.
Season Them if You Like: You will find that frozen sweet potato fries come already seasoned, so be careful with adding more salt. I suggest using garlic powder and fresh parsley to add more savory flavor though.

DO I NEED TO ADD OIL TO COOK FROZEN SWEET POTATO FRIES IN THE AIR FRYER?
Oil is not needed to make frozen sweet potato fries in the air fryer so long as you’re cooking with an air fryer that has a non-stick basket.
Some oven style air fryers use an aluminum tray that has a tendency to stick to sweet potato fries, so in that case, spray or brush the tray with oil before air frying.
HOW FULL CAN THE AIR FRYER BASKET BE WITH SWEET POTATO FRIES
When making sweet potato fries in the air fryer, you can stack them up a bit, but not too much. There needs to be enough room in the basket for air to circulate around the frozen french fries.
If there isn’t room for air to circulate, the fries will not get crispy, and will instead be mushy and soft.
Try not to fill the basket any more than half full, and be sure to shake and flip the fries around a few times during cooking.
WHY DIDN’T MY FROZEN FRIES GET CRISPY IN THE AIR FRYER?
Likely you added too many frozen sweet potato fries to the air fryer. Next time, cook less of them at a time.
ARE SWEET POTATO FRIES HEALTHY?
You can definitely include frozen air fryer sweet potato fries in your diet. Sweet potatoes are generally considered healthier than white potatoes since they have additional vitamins like vitamins A, B, C, and D, among others.
Sweet Potatoes are actually considered a superfood, due to their many health benefits, particularly due to the high amounts of antioxidants in them.
Frozen sweet potato fries made in the air fryer are acceptable for vegan and vegetarian diets, and can also be gluten free and sugar free depending on the brand of frozen sweet potato fries you purchase.
HOW CAN I REHEAT SWEET POTATO FRIES IN THE AIR FRYER?
The air fryer is by far the best appliance to use when you want to re-heat fries. Add your cold, leftover sweet potato fries to a preheated 400°F/200°C air fryer and cook for about 2 minutes until they’ve reheated and crisped back up.
DIPPING SAUCES FOR SWEET POTATO FRIES

I want to make sweet potato fries from fresh sweet potatoes but there is only info for frozen. How long do I cook the fresh ones and at what temperature?
Hi Ann, we currently do not have a recipe up for fresh sweet potatoes but generally 380F 12 minutes and cut fries about 1/4 in thick. They can be tricky so watch them as they cook and adjust if needed 🙂
