Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon arrowroot

Instructions

  • Thoroughly clean the outside of the potatoes with a brush. Slice off the ends of the potatoes and cut potatoes into similarly-sized wedges.
    2 large sweet potatoes

Optional Soak

  • If time permits, soak wedges in a large bowl of water for 1 hour. Drain and dry potatoes before proceeding.
  • Add wedges to a large bowl and coat with the coconut oil, arrowroot, and seasonings. Stir to coat.
    2 tablespoon coconut oil, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, 1 tablespoon arrowroot
  • Add wedges in a single layer to the air fryer. Air fry potatoes at 400F for 8 minutes then flip or shake the basket and cook for an additional 4-8 minutes.

Notes

  • For this recipe, sweet potato wedges approximately 2 inches long and ½ inch wide were used.
  • I tested this recipe in both the Ultrean and Ninja Speedi.  Cook times were shorter in the Ninja Speedi.
  • Optional Soak: Soak the cut potatoes in a bowl of water for an hour to remove as much starch as possible.
  • Storage: Store cooked potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheating: To reheat, air fry leftovers at 350F for 5-7 minutes or until desired crispness.
  • Spacing: Place wedges in the basket in one layer with space between them to maximize crispiness and reduce the steaming effect.
  • Tips for cutting: Cut wedges as consistently as possible to ensure even cooking. Too small can lead to burning and too large will lose crispiness.
