Ingredients

2 sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1/2-inch strips
2 tbsp olive oil
Coarse sea salt for sprinkling
2 tbsp granulated sugar
2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

Place the cut sweet potatoes in a bowl and drizzle olive oil over the potatoes. Toss to coat.
Add the fries to the air fryer basket of an air fryer in a single layer (cook in batches, if needed). Air fry at 375 degrees for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
After cooking, you have two options: sweet fries or savory fries.
For sweet fries, combine the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish and mix well. Roll the fries in the mixture just after cooking, until completely coated.
For savory fries, sprinkle sea salt over the fries after cooking.

Notes

Depending on how thick you cut your fries, you may have to cook for additional time. For extra thick-cut fries, air fry at 375 degrees for 20 minutes total, flipping halfway through.
Be sure not to overcrowd the basket in order to achieve optimal results! Work in batches, if needed.
If you go the savory fry route, consider sprucing them up with a sprinkling of garlic powder or salt and pepper before cooking.
To avoid the fries sticking to the basket, lightly coat with cooking spray first.
If you want to turn up the notch on the crispy level, increase temp to 400 degrees but be sure to decrease the cook time by a few minutes if you go this route.
