Slice the sweet potatoes into fries, about 3/8 inch thick.
Soak the fries in cold water for at least 20 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees F (193 degrees C).
Toss the fries with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Arrange fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket, cooking in batches.
Air fry for 10-14 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
Repeat steps 5-6 with remaining batches.
Toss all fries back into the air fryer for 1-2 minutes until hot and crispy.
- Soaking the sweet potatoes in cold water helps remove excess starch, leading to crispier fries.
- Patting the fries completely dry after soaking is crucial for achieving maximum crispiness.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for even cooking.
- For extra crispy fries, a final 1-2 minute blast in the air fryer at the end can make a big difference.
