    What You’ll Need To Make Frozen Sweet Potato Fries In Air Fryer

    Ingredients needed to make frozen sweet potato fries in air fryer.

    Frozen sweet potato fries: Look for frozen sweet potato fries in the freezer section of your grocery store. I love the Alexia brand sweet potato fries, but any brand will work.

    Spray oil: This is optional, but spraying the fries with a little bit of oil will help them to get nice and crispy. I like to use avocado oil spray, but you can also use olive oil spray.

    Seasonings: I like to keep things simple and just season the fries with a little bit of salt and then top them with some fresh parsley once they're cooked, but you can also add your favorite seasonings. Some great options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, or chili powder.

    Dipping sauce: These fries are delicious on their own, but they're even better when dipped in your favorite sauce. Try them with ketchup, BBQ ranch sauce, ketchup, or a dipping sauce of your choice. I served these sweet potato fries with my easy vegan maple mustard sauce (recipe below).

    Vegan Maple Mustard Dipping Sauce

    This easy vegan dipping sauce is the perfect accompaniment to these air fryer roasted sweet potato fries. It's made with just a few simple ingredients and comes together in minutes.

    Ingredients:

    • ⅛ cup vegan mayo
    • 1 tablespoons Dijon mustard
    • 1½ tablespoon maple syrup
    • salt and pepper to taste

    Instructions:

    Simply whisk all of the ingredients together in a small bowl and serve with your sweet potato fries.

    Step-By-Step Instructions For Frozen Sweet Potato Fries In Air Fryer

    Now that you have all of your ingredients, here's how to make frozen sweet potato fries in the air fryer:

    Step 1: Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Recipe Tips And Tricks

    Here are a few tips and tricks to help you make the perfect roasted sweet potato fries:

    • Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. This will lead to uneven cooking and soggy fries. If you have a lot of fries, cook them in batches.
    • If your air fryer doesn't have a basket, you can cook the fries on a lightly oiled foil-lined baking sheet.
    • Add a small spray of oil if you want extra crispy fries. This is optional, but it will help them to get nice and crispy.

    • A salad: Pair these fries with a simple green salad for a complete meal.
    • Vegan chili: Serve them alongside a bowl of vegan chili for a fun and easy weeknight meal.
    • Roasted vegetables: These fries would also be great with roasted brussel sprouts, cauliflower, or broccoli.
    • Vegan cheese: Sprinkle on some vegan cheddar cheese or dairy-free Parmesan for an extra cheesy treat.

    How To Store Leftovers

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Q: How long do you put frozen sweet potato fries in the air fryer?

    A: Cook frozen sweet potato fries in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

    Q: Can I use fresh sweet potatoes instead of frozen?

    A: Yes, you can use fresh sweet potatoes, but you'll need to cut them into fry-shaped pieces and cook them for a few minutes longer. If using fresh sweet potato, I recommend dusting them with a small amount of cornstarch before cooking to help them get nice and crispy.

    Q: What other seasonings can I use on these fries?

    A: The options are endless! Try adding a bit of curry powder, chili powder, garlic powder, or even some fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme.

    Q: Can I make these sweet potato fries without an air fryer?

    A: Yes, you can bake them in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the sweet potato fries on the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

    Q: Why do my sweet potato fries go soggy?

    A: There are a few reasons why this might happen. First, make sure you're not overcrowding the air fryer basket. If there are too many fries in the basket, they will touch and steam each other, which will lead to soggy fries. Second, make sure you're using frozen sweet potato fries and not fresh. Fresh sweet potatoes need to be cooked for a few minutes longer than frozen, so they might not get as crispy. Lastly, be sure to spray the fries with a small amount of oil before cooking. This will help them to get nice and crispy.

    Tools And Equipment For This Recipe

    GoWISE USA 7-Quart Electric Air Fryer With Dehydrator: This is a great budget-friendly air fryer. It’s large enough to cook a decent-sized batch of frozen sweet potato fries.

    Stainless Steel Wire Whisk: These wire whisks are a great tool to have in your kitchen. I used the smallest one to whisk together the ingredients for the maple mustard sauce.
