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.

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: 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.
