Key Ingredients
Sweet potatoes are considered to be anti-inflammatory and full of antioxidants.
Olive oil helps the wedges brown in the air fryer.
The garlic powder and paprika are just enough to add some flavor but they don’t overpower the sweet potato.
Recipe Steps

After peeling and cutting, add the sweet potatoes to a mixing bowl with all the other ingredients.
Please see the recipe card at the end of this post for the exact ingredients and measurements.
Step Two
Add to the air fryer in as close to a single layer as possible.

Recipe Tips & Substitutions
- Some air fryer models needs to be preheated. Please refer to the owner’s manual of your particular model to see if you need to preheat it before using.
- You don’t have to peel the sweet potatoes if you don’t want to, but I prefer them peeled as they are easier to digest without the peel.
- Try to slice your wedges into uniform sizes as much as possible so they will cook evenly. Each sweet potato should yield about 6-8 wedges.
- Depending on the size of your air fryer basket, you may be able to double this recipe.
- Try 1 1/2 teaspoons of ranch or taco seasoning in place of the recommended seasonings.
Recipe FAQs
They will be perfect as-is next to a burger or chicken breast. I’d also recommend using them as the base to nacho/taco toppings!
Place cooled wedges in an airtight container for up to 3 days. They are great cold on a green salad, or you can quickly reheat in the air fryer.
