Ingredients

2 medium purple sweet potatoes approx. 410g
1 tablespoon Olive oil extra virgin
¼ teaspoon Garlic (minced) ¼ teaspoon more for stronger flavor
½ teaspoon dried parsley
⅛ teaspoon salt plus more to taste (seasoning)

Instructions

Cut the washed and peeled purple sweet potatoes into fries (fry-shaped sticks).
In a bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil, salt and minced garlic and herbs until coated evenly.
Preheat air fryer to 200°C/400°F.
Arrange coated fries in a single layer into the lined air fryer basket (see notes). Air fry for 10 minutes on 200°C/400°F, flip halfway to ensure even cooking.
Once cooked, remove from air fryer tray, sprinkle more salt to taste. Serve fresh and enjoy!

Notes

1. Serve fresh with your favorite dipping sauce: serve these fries straight way for the best taste and texture.
2. Line air fryer tray with parchment/baking paper (or a baking sheet): this will prevent the sweet potato fries from sticking to tray. Ensure the parchment/baking paper you use is heat-resistant (designed for baking).
3. Parchment paper: I also recommend using white/light colored parchment paper compared with darker parchment paper (this can cause your baked goods to darken quickly and affect cooking time).
4. Arrange in single layer: Ensure the tray is not overcrowded and fries are not overlapping. You may need to air fry in batches (depending on the size of your air fryer).
