Description

Crispy, golden sweet potato wedges coated in cinnamon sugar, cooked to perfection in an air fryer for a quick, healthy, and addictive snack or side dish.

Ingredients

Scale

2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs / 680g)
1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
Optional: ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional: ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
Optional: ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

Wash and scrub sweet potatoes thoroughly. Peel if desired, then cut into ½-inch thick wedges, aiming for 12-16 uniform pieces.
Soak the wedges in a bowl of cold water for 10-15 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat completely dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl, toss the dried wedges with avocado oil until lightly coated.
In a small bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the oiled wedges and toss until evenly coated, ensuring a thin, even layer.
Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper (optional). Arrange wedges in a single layer without overlapping.
Cook at 380°F (190°C) for 10 minutes.
Open the basket and shake or flip the wedges to ensure even browning.
Cook for another 5-8 minutes, checking frequently to prevent the sugar from burning.
Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Let cool for 2 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not skip the soaking and drying steps, as moisture prevents crispiness. Cook in batches if your air fryer is small to avoid overcrowding. Sugar can burn quickly, so watch closely during the last few minutes. Serve immediately for best texture.
