Ingredients:

  • 2 lb sweet potatoes, scrubbed and sliced into wedges
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Slice the sweet potatoes into uniform wedges roughly 1/2 inch thick and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess surface moisture.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the raw wedges with cornstarch until lightly dusted.
  3. Drizzle in the olive oil and sprinkle the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the top. Toss vigorously until every wedge is evenly coated in a thin, glossy film.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
  5. Arrange the wedges in the basket in a single layer without stacking.
  6. Air fry for 12–15 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the wedges with tongs every 5 minutes.
  7. Remove once the wedges are mahogany-colored and the edges feel firm to the touch.
