Ingredients and Tools You'll Need for Making Air Fryer Sweet Potato Wedges
Sweet Potatoes - The sweet, slightly nutty flavor in sweet potatoes is so good and perfect for this recipe!
Non-stick cooking spray or olive oil spray - These ingredients are used to help the sweet potato wedges cook evenly and achieve a crispy texture. The non-stick cooking spray helps to prevent the wedges from sticking to the air fryer basket, while the olive oil adds additional flavor and moisture.
Olive oil - The distinctive, slightly fruity flavor in olive oil adds moisture and flavor to the sweet potato wedges and helps to create a crispy texture when cooked.
Coarse salt - Salt helps to balance out the sweetness of the sweet potatoes and enhances the overall flavor of the wedges.
Onion powder - Onion powder adds depth and savory flavor to the sweet potato wedges and helps to balance out the sweetness of the sweet potatoes.
Black pepper - Black pepper adds a slight heat to the sweet potato wedges.
Paprika - The paprika's slightly sweet, smoky flavor adds a subtle warmth and depth of flavor to the sweet potato wedges.
Fresh parsley - Parsley is often used as a garnish for a pop of color and flavor. It pairs well with the sweet potato wedges and adds a fresh, bright finish to the finished dish.
Kitchen Tools Needed:
- Air fryer
- large mixing bowl
- measuring cups and spoons
- baking sheet
How to Make Sweet Potato Wedges in Air Fryer
1. Clean and cut the sweet potatoes into wedges, then put in a large bowl for mixing.
2. Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees F.
3. Drizzle the sweet potato wedges with oil and combine the spices. Sprinkle the spice blend over the wedges and toss to coat evenly.
4. Place the wedges in the basket of the air fryer, allowing enough space for them to cook evenly. You may need to cook them in batches to achieve a crispy outside.
5. Cook the wedges at 380 degrees F for 15-18 minutes, turning them half way through.
6. Remove the sweet potato wedges from the air fryer and place them on a baking sheet in a 220 F oven to keep them warm.

Tips and Tricks for Making the BEST Sweet Potato Wedges
- To achieve a crispy outside, be sure to coat the sweet potato wedges evenly with the oil and spice blend.
- Cook the wedges in batches to ensure that they cook evenly and achieve a crispy texture.
- To keep the wedges warm while cooking the remaining batches, place them in a 220 F oven on a baking sheet.

- For added flavor, try experimenting with different spice blends or adding herbs such as rosemary or thyme to the wedges before cooking.
- To reduce the prep time, you can also purchase pre-cut sweet potato wedges from the grocery store.
- If you don't have an air fryer, you can also bake the wedges in the oven at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
These sweet potato wedges pair well with a variety of dishes, including grilled meats, roasted turkey, roasted vegetables and salads.
