Cut the ends off sweet potatoes. Then, cut them in half or quarters. Cut each half into similar-sized wedges.
Soak the wedges in a bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes. This step is optional and will help the wedges crisp up a bit.
Drain the water and dry the wedges with a paper towel.
In a large bowl place the wedges with oil, paprika, red chili powder, garlic powder, black pepper and salt. Toss well with hands, separating the wedges so they are all coated with oil and seasoning.
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F.
Place the wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 12 minutes flipping halfway through until browned with crispy edges. You will have to move the wedges from the middle to the edge of the air fryer so they can cook.
Serve immediately with your favorite sauce. Sweet potato loses it's crispiness as it cools.
Notes
Sweet potatoes: Slice the wedges evenly and cook in batches for maximum crispiness!
Serving: Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavor and the crispy golden texture.
Leftovers: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. They will be soft. Reheat in the air fryer 375°F for 3–5 minutes to bring back the crispy edges.
