Ingredients
- 600 g (1 lb 5 oz) Sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1cm (0.4 in) sticks
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Cornflour
- ½ tsp Smoked paprika
- ½ tsp Salt
You’ll need: Air fryer
Method
Toss the sweet potato sticks with the oil in a bowl, then sprinkle over the cornflour, paprika and salt and toss again until lightly coated.
Heat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F). Cook in 2 batches in a single thin layer. Crowded fries steam and go soft.
Cook for 14–18 minutes, shaking at about 8 minutes, until the edges are browned and the fries feel firm. Sweet potato browns faster than white potato because of its natural sugars, so start checking at 12 minutes.
Leave for 2 minutes before serving; they crisp slightly as they cool.
Storage
Best eaten fresh. Fridge up to 2 days; they will be softer, so re-crisp in the air fryer at 200°C (400°F) for 3–4 minutes.
