Ingredients
Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries
- 2 sweet potatoes, remove ends, peel and cut into fries
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon paprika
- few turns cracked black pepper, to taste
Lime Crema
- ¼ cup light sour cream
- 2 tablespoons lime juice, fresh squeezed
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- pinch salt
Tomato Avocado Salad
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
- ½ cup English cucumber, core and dice
- ½ cup avocado, dice
- ¼ cup shallots, finely dice
- 2 tablespoons jalapeno, finely dice
- 1 tablespoon lime juice, fresh squeezed
- 1-2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- pinch kosher salt
- pinch black pepper
Optional Garnishes
- cilantro
- green onion
Equipment
- 1 air fryer
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees.
- Remove the ends from two medium sized sweet potatoes. Peel and slice the potatoes into ¼-inch fries. Thinner fries will yield crispier fries. Add the fries to a bowl and toss them with avocado oil, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, kosher salt and black pepper. Making sure they are well coated.
- Add the fries to your preheated air fryer basket. Make sure not to overcrowd the basket. If you overcrowd the basket, the fries will get soggy versus crispy. You may need to air fry them in batches based on the size of your air fryer.
- Air fry the fries for 10-12 minutes, making sure to shake the basket halfway through baking. You may need to add 1 or 2 minutes depending on your preferred crispiness and the type of air fryer you are using.
