Ingredients

  • 600g Sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1cm sticks
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Cornflour
  • 1/2 tsp Smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Salt

You’ll need: Air fryer

Method

  1. 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.

  2. Heat the air fryer to 200°C. Cook in 2 batches in a single thin layer. Crowded fries steam and go soft.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 for 3–4 minutes.
