- Place the sweet potato fries into a large bowl, and cover with cold water. Let them soak for at least one hour or as long as overnight.
- Drain the water, place the sweet potatoes on a towel on the counter, and pat dry with paper towels. You want them to be as dry as possible.
- Place sweet potatoes in a large bowl with 3 teaspoon of cornstarch, ¾ teaspoon of garlic powder, ¾ teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon of sea salt, and ⅛ teaspoon of black pepper. Mix up the cornstarch and seasonings into the sweet potatoes with a large spoon. The white cornstarch will disappear. Add 3 tablespoon of olive oil and mix again.3 teaspoon cornstarch, ¾ teaspoon garlic powder, ¾ teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon sea salt, ⅛ teaspoon black pepper, 3 tablespoon olive oil
- Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the sweet potatoes to the basket of the air fryer in a single layer, with space between them to allow the hot air to circulate. Do not overcrowd the basket. Cook in small batches so that they cook evenly and get crispy.
- Set the cooking time for 15 minutes, and be sure to give the air fryer basket a good shake every 5 minutes. That's it! Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
