Equipment
Ingredients
- 550 g Sweet potatoes (washed and peeled) (this is approx 4-5 medium/large sweet potatoes)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil extra virgin
- ¼ teaspoon Garlic minced (add ¼ teaspoon more for stronger flavor)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Seasoning:
- ⅛ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Black pepper freshly ground (add ¼ teaspoon more for more heat)
- ¼ teaspoon Red chilli flakes optional
- ½ teaspoon Oregano optional
- ½ teaspoon Parsley optional
Instructions
- Cut sweet potatoes into wedges.
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and seasoning (salt, pepper and herbs).
- Add the sweet potatoes into the bowl (with seasoning). Toss with the mixture to evenly coat the sweet potato wedges.
- Preheat air fryer to 200°C/400°F.
- Arrange the sweet potato wedges in a single layer in the air fryer tray (avoid overcrowding/overlapping). Cook for 10 minutes, flip halfway to help evenly cook the sweet potatoes.
- Once cooked, serve fresh and enjoy.
Notes
- Serve fresh with your favorite dipping sauce: serve hot and fresh for the best taste and texture. You can serve these homemade wedges with dips including mayonnaise, ranch dressing, guacamole or blender salsa.
- Line tray with parchment/baking paper (or a baking sheet): this will help stop the sweet potato wedges from sticking to tray (and make less mess too)! Ensure the parchment/baking paper you use is heat-resistant (designed for baking).
- Air fryer: avoid overcrowding the air fryer tray. This helps keep the wedges crispy and cook evenly as well as helping with air circulation. You can check the sweet potato wedges are cooked by placing a fork through one - they should be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
- Serve fresh: Once cooked, remove from air fryer (so they don’t become soggy). Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
