How to make this recipe

Air fryer temperatures vary. Use the exact cooking time and temperature that works best for your appliance.

1. Clean and cut sweet potatoes into wedges and place them in a large bowl for mixing. (Yes, you want to remove the sweet potato skin.)

Note: If you're preparing the sweet potato wedges ahead of time, place them in the mixing bowl. Then fill it with cold water, so the wedges don't brown.

2. Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees F.

3. Drizzle sweet potato wedges with oil.

4. Combine spices in a small mixing bowl.

5. Sprinkle spice blend over the sweet potato wedges. Toss to coat evenly.

6. Place wedges in the air fryer basket, allowing enough space to cook evenly and form a crispy outer layer. You'll need to cook the wedges in batches.

7. Cook at 380 degrees F for 15-18 minutes, turning halfway through. Cook until golden brown for maximum crispiness.

8. Remove the wedges. Place them on a baking sheet lined with paper towels in a warm oven.

9. Continue cooking the remaining wedges.

10. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

11. Place leftover air fryer potato wedges in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
