How to Make Air Fryer Sweet Potato Wedges
Making homemade air fried sweet potato wedges is simple and only requires a few ingredients. This is what you will need:
- 2 Sweet Potatoes
- Olive Oil
- Salt
- Pepper
But this recipe is flexible. You can use any herbs and seasonings you like. I just like to keep it simple. But feel free to be as creative as you like.
To begin, wash the sweet potatoes and peel them if you like. You can also use unpeeled sweet potatoes too as I do. Then cut the potatoes in half and then cut all of the halves into wedges. Now, place them into a large bowl.
Next, drizzle the sweet potatoes with about one tablespoon of olive oil. You can also use any type of vegetable oil or even omit the oil altogether. Then sprinkle the potatoes with salt and pepper to season and toss them to coat them evenly.
Now, put the seasoned sweet potatoes into the basket of the air fryer and cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes.
Once the sweet potato wedges are done cooking, remove them from the air fryer basket and put them on your serving dish to enjoy!
How to Store Air Fried Sweet Potato Wedges
Sweet potato wedges will keep in the fridge for up to one week when stored in a covered container. I don’t suggest freezing them. You can try it, but it doesn’t always work so well. If you do freeze them just make sure it’s in a sealed freezer bag and they will keep for about 3 months.
How to Reheat Air Fried Sweet Potato Wedges
To reheat, simply put the wedges in the microwave for about 3 minutes on medium power or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes. If reheating from frozen, I suggest putting them on a baking sheet in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until they crisp up. This will take varying times depending on the portion size you are reheating, but will be around 20 minutes.
