You also need an air fryer. I have the Ninja Foodi, and love it! The Ninja Foodi can be found online here: Ninja Foodi. You don’t need the Foodi to make these wedges, you can use any air fryer.

There are different brands of air fryers in different sizes with different capabilities online here: air fryers. Whatever air fryer you choose is completely up to you and your own personal preference, and price point.

How to Make Sweet Potato Wedges in an Air Fryer

First, preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F for 5 minutes.

While the fryer warms up, prepare the sweet potatoes. First, wash the taters with cold water and then pat dry with a paper towel.

Then on a cutting board, with a sharp knife cut each large sweet potato lengthwise into wedges, and place in a large bowl. 

Next, add the oil and honey to the bowl. 

Add the salt and smoked paprika to the bowl. 

Then toss to coat. 

Cook Time for Air Fryer Potato Wedges

To ensure even crisping, transfer the seasoned wedges to the air fryer basket in a single layer, if possible. This allows the hot air to circulate freely around each wedge.

Set the cooking time for 12 minutes and press start. 

After 12 minutes, toss the wedges, or give the basket a little shake. Then set the time to cook for another 12 minutes.

When done check the sweet potato wedges for doneness. For extra crispy wedges cook for up to another 3-4 minutes, as needed. The longer the cooking time, the more the crispy sweet potato fries will become crispy and brown. Make sure not to overcook them. 

​Air Fryer Sweet Potato Wedges Recipe

These air fryer sweet potato fries are the perfect snack or side dish and are much better than deep frying. 

Once you remove the wedges from the fryer you can sprinkle with a little more salt and paprika if you’d like.

Next time you are in the mood for french fries, make these homemade sweet potato fries instead. It’s so much better to taste the delicious flavor of sweet potatoes and not greasy oil. 

Serve these delicious sweet potato fries with your favorite dipping sauce or ranch dressing. I am using this dairy-free ranch dressing made with avocado oil.

For best results, enjoy these crispy wedges right away. Store leftovers in an airtight container, and reheat in the air fryer or on a baking sheet in the oven.
