Crispy sweetpotato wedges in the air fryer are extra delicious. Make these easy wedges or just take my word for it.

We love cooking sweetpotatoes any way (here are some awesome ways to use sweetpotatoes). If you like oven roasted sweetpotatoes, try these oven roasted carrots and sweetpotatoes.

But this air fryer method is so quick and easy, it may be my new go-to for crispy veggies.

The air fryer has become quite the convenient little appliance in our house. The end texture is fantastic and the cleanup is minimal.

We’ve made air fryer tempeh and air fryer turkey burgers so much lately!

We have even made things from frozen, like these air fryer frozen green beans, which come in handy when you forget to prepare a veggie or something.

Why You’ll Love Sweetpotato Air Fryer Wedges

• Pair well with anything – In my post about what to eat with sweetpotatoes, I break down how nearly any food or entree pairs perfectly with the right spices and blends. This healthy side dish can be served with any main dish. Air fried sweetpotatoes wedges are a great side to serve with chicken tenders, or to my favorite bruschetta chicken sandwich.
• Perfect texture – With crispy edges and a natural sweetness and softness on the inside, the hot air in the air fryer makes these air fryer sweetpotato wedges the real deal. This allows you to use less oil and have a healthier outcome! Kind of like another favorite – these butternut squash fries in the air fryer.
• Kid friendly – Don’t all kids love fries and wedges? Air fryer sweetpotatoes wedges are well-loved by all three kiddos in this house! And if you’d rather make crispy sweetpotato fries, make sure to cut the sweetpotatoes into thinner fry shapes, rather than wider wedge shapes. Both are great options for the whole family! My husband proclaimed that these were his favorite crispy air fryer sweetpotato wedges, and my four-year-old said, “Mom, these are actually really really good!”
• Great for babies and toddlers – Since sweetpotatoes are naturally sweet, easy to hold, and go with so many things, they can be a great healthy finger food for toddlers! So many ways to incorporate sweetpotatoes into veggie recipes for toddlers.
• Perfect snack – We’re all about including veggies in snacks, especially back to school snacks. This helps reduce picky eating when vegetables are served in fun ways. This is one of my favorite healthy snacks for picky eaters! Sweetpotatoes are high in antioxidants, fiber, and Vitamins A and C, so a healthy alternative to regular fries.
• Less Oil – With these sweetpotato wedges in the air fryer, you have more control of the amount of oil you’re using, which is less compared to baking and frying.
• Serve with fun dips! – Ketchup, ranch, honey mustard, hummus, and guacamole are all great, but use your favorite dipping sauce. Recently, I’ve been serving with my spinach pesto without nuts and it’s just a new savory flavor combination that I can’t put down! Herby and fresh.

Ingredients for Seasoned Sweetpotato Wedges

Here’s the short list of ingredients you need to make the best, most perfectly crisp air fryer sweetpotato wedges.

• 2-3 medium to large sweetpotatoes – A large sweetpotato can be easier to cut into wedge shape.
• avocado oil or olive oil – You can also canola oil or vegetable oil, or use an oil spray but check with your air fryer directions/guide just in case.
• spice blend – paprika, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, sea salt, parsley (or any herb for garnish)

You can also make your own spice blend. Garlic powder and onion powder are always favorites on the sweetpotato skin.

If you like things a little spicier, consider cayenne pepper, chili pepper or some diced jalapenos.

I made the super easy dipping sauce for these sweet potato wedges by mixing equal amounts of mayo and ketchup, a personal favorite of mine.

AIR FRYER ESSENTIALS – I love to keep some go-to’s on hand for my air fryer recipes. Here’s what I recommend using:

Fast Instant Read Thermometer – You’ll use this more than you know! It works for meat on the grill or stove or oven, too. It’s super fast and the large screen is easy to read.

Reusable Air Fryer Liners – I love these for easy cleaning!

Plate Gripper – This is great for HOT things when they come out of the air fryer. Take care and don’t burn yourself.

Tongs – Tongs can be helpful for transferring seasoned items and then hot items after cooked in the air fryer.

How to Make Air Fried Sweetpotato Wedges

To make these seasoned sweetpotato wedges, start by preheating your air fryer to 380 deg. Farenheit.

While it’s preheating, grab a cutting board and cut your sweetpotatoes. I prefer to cut them into a wide wedge shape and put them in a large bowl.

Add your oil and spices into the mixing bowl, mixing it all around.

You only need a little bit of olive oil or your choice of oil. A little goes a long way!

Then, I like to use tongs to transfer the wedges to the air fryer basket, arranging them in a single layer.

You may have to do a second batch since you don’t want them smothering each other.
