Store the leftover wedges in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply return back to the air fryer and cook for 4-6 minutes on 350 degrees until hot again.

What to dip sweet potato fries or wedges into?

I'm all about sauces and this homemade honey mustard dressing is my favorite. There is a regular and spicy version. Other options are Chipotle Lime Sauce , Dijonnaise , Avocado Crema , or Smash Burger Sauce . If you like good old fashioned ketchup, go for it! I've even seen people dip sweet potato wedges in maple syrup.

What seasoning goes on sweet potato wedges?

We have two options here, either savory with a bit of heat or sweet. This recipe uses a savory seasoning of chili powder, cumin, granulated garlic, cayenne pepper and salt. The Sweet option is to simply coat the wedges in olive oil with a touch a salt to season. Once the wedges come out of the air fryer, toss them in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar (1 teaspoon ground cinnamon with 1 tablespoon of sugar).

Instructions

Wash and dry the sweet potatoes. Remove any sprouts, roots, and slice about 1/2 inch of each end of the potatoes. Slice each potato into chunky 1 inch thick wedges. For the really lengthy pieces, slice the width in half to create two shorter wedges.
Add the wedges into a bowl and pour in olive oil, spices and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Toss to combine. Note: Using your hands is the most efficient way to spread the oil and spices.
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees and set time for 20 minutes, or choose the French fries setting and increase time to 20 minutes.
Add the seasoned potato wedges into the air fryer for 20 minutes, giving them a good shake half way through cooking.
Season the fries with another 1/4 teaspoon of salt and shake. Transfer the fries to a serving dish and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce (mine is honey mustard).

Notes

Make sure to really coat the sweet potatoes entirely in olive oil for a better roast and crispy texture.
I don't recommend more than 2 sweet potatoes at a time in the air fryer or they will get soggy. For a crispier result, cook 1 sweet potato at a time in the air fryer. This allow them to spread out better.
