These crispy air-fried sweet potato fries are a smart swap for greasy takeout. Lightly tossed in olive oil and spice-coated for that smoky, savoury bite, they turn golden and crunchy without deep-frying. Paired with a creamy yoghurt dip, this combo satisfies your cravings while keeping your plate light and wholesome.

UNITSIngredients
For the Fries:
500 g, 2 mediumSweet potatoes, peeled and cut into ¼-inch thick fries
Peel, wash, and pat the sweet potatoes completely dry using a kitchen towel. Moisture prevents crisping, so take your time here. Cut into even ¼ inch fries to ensure they cook uniformly.

Season for Flavour

Air Fry to Crispiness
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (392°F). Arrange fries in a single layer in the basket—avoid overcrowding to maintain airflow. Air fry for 12–14 minutes, shaking halfway for even colour. They should be crisp on the edges and soft inside.
