Notes

For optimal crispness, ensure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in multiple batches to allow proper air circulation. Consider soaking the cut sweet potato fries in cold water for 30 minutes, then drying thoroughly, before tossing with oil and spices. This helps remove excess starch, contributing to a crispier exterior. For enhanced flavor, a pinch of brown sugar or a dash of cayenne pepper can be added to the seasoning mix. Ensure the sweet potato pieces are cut as uniformly as possible for even cooking.
