One of my favourite snacks is air fryer sweet potato wedges with paprika and oregano, an absolute pleasure to enjoy. I like them because they are not as crispy as fried potatoes, but they are more meaty and delicious, especially if served with a dip.

Why We Love the Sweet Potato Wedges in Air Fryer

These air fryer sweet potato wedges are indispensable when we serve tasty homemade hamburgers or enjoy them as snacks with a dip. This is because they are delicious, and I can prepare them quickly and easily.

I also find them much healthier than those fried in oil and much more convenient than making them in the oven, especially since the air fryer can circulate these wedges better and fry them on all sides.

Ingredients

For four servings of air fryer sweet potato wedges, I will use four larger pieces of sweet potatoes that I will peel and cut later.

Sweet Potatoes on the Chopping Board

Before frying, I will season them with some spices such as:

  • A teaspoon of sea salt.
  • Half a teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.
  • Half a teaspoon of onion powder.
  • Half a teaspoon of dried oregano.
  • A teaspoon of sweet paprika will give it a beautiful colour.
  • Half a teaspoon of allspice.

How to Make the Air Fryer Sweet Potato Wedges

Preparing the Sweet Potatoes

First, peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into wedges, a little thicker than French fries, but they should be approximately equal in size.

Those who wish now can soak them in cold water for half an hour or even more; this way, part of the starch will dissolve from the potatoes, and this helps them to be more crunchy on the outside.

But then, you must wipe the potatoes well with a paper towel, so they are perfectly dry; otherwise, you will not get the desired effect.

Seasoning

We will season them; sprinkle all the presented ingredients and olive oil over the sweet potatoes, which will act as a binder, keep the spices stuck to the potatoes, and they will not stick to the air fryer basket.

Mix the sweet potato wedges well by hand until they are evenly covered with all the ingredients.

Choose an Air Fryer

Of course, to make this recipe, you need an air fryer; I recommend one like mine, a 5.5 l Cosori Air Fryer XXL, perfect for my family.

Usually, when I cook something in the air fryer, I prefer to preheat it first. That's what I did, and now, while preparing the potatoes, I set it to preheat at 205 C (401 F) for five minutes.

I arrange the sweet potato wedges in the basket of the air fryer, if possible, on a single level to make it better and faster without adding extra oil.

Setting the Air Fryer

I set the air fryer to a temperature of 205 C (401 F) and fry them for 15 minutes, enough time to make them the way I like them. In fact, among the 11 pre sets, the Cosori XXL air fryer also has one for fries and recommends this temperature.

Air Fryer Setting at 205 C

At the halfway point of the baking time, which the air fryer will announce with a sound signal, I take out the basket and shake it well so that the pieces of wedges turn and fry evenly.

Then I put the basket back and fry them further until the time expires.

And that's it; in less than half an hour, I finished the air fryer sweet potato wedges recipe, which I can't wait to serve.

F.A.Q.

Why won't my sweet potato wedges go crispy?

The most common reasons are:
-the potatoes are not perfectly dry before putting them in the oven;
-you put too many at once, and the air cannot pass between them to fry.

Do you have to soak sweet potatoes before air frying?

I didn't soak them, but if you want to increase the chance of making them crispy, I recommend soaking them in cold water for at least an hour to release the starch, after which wipe the wedges well with a paper towel to be perfectly dry.

How long do sweet potatoes take in the air fryer?

It depends on the size of the wedges and the type of air fryer, but I leave them between 15 and 20 minutes at 205 C (401 F) and halfway through the baking time, I shake them to turn to the other side.

Serving the Sweet Potato Wedges

I like to serve these delicious air fryer sweet potato wedges as appetizers or snacks with a dip such as chipotle mayo or Thai sweet chilli; they are amazing. But they fit just as well as a side dish with your favourite hamburger or the best-braised duck legs; it's your choice.
