🍠 Recipe Ingredients
These crunchy air fried frozen sweet potato fries are so easy to make!
Ingredient Notes:
- Frozen sweet potato fries: I used unseasoned frozen sweet potato fries. I also like to air fry Alexia sweet potato fries already seasoned with sea salt. Some different brands are Ore-Ida, McCain, and Cavendish Frans. I also like to grab a big bag of straight-cut Russet House organic crispy sweet potato fries from Costco.
- Seasoning: If the fries are unseasoned, sprinkle some sea salt or black pepper to taste.

⏲️ How To Air Fryer Frozen Sweet Potato Fries
Step-By-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread frozen fries in the basket of your preheated air fryer. Air fry for 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
Step 2: If your fries are not as crispy as you would like, cook them until they achieve your desired level of crispness. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
Top Tip
Air fryers do not cook the same, so you may need to adjust the cooking time. For example, the sweet potato fries were cooked to ultimate crispness after 20 minutes in my Instant Pot Vortex air fryer. However, they took 28 minutes in my Ninja Foodi Air Fryer.
🧂 How To Serve Sweet Potato Fries
- Sprinkle with a bit of sea salt.
- Serve with honey mustard sauce, ketchup, ranch dressing, or dill dip.
- Top with sesame seeds or chives.
- Top with bacon bits, sour cream, and Homemade Salsa.
- Season with cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, or chili powder.

📋 Recipe FAQs
No. Keep the fries completely frozen and add them to the air fryer basket.
It takes 3-5 minutes for the air fryer to preheat.
Sweet potato fries will be perfectly cooked from frozen in about 20 minutes. However, each air fryer cooks differently, so this time is an estimate.
