Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes cut into wedges
  • 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 2 tsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt plus more to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Minced fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer at 375°F for 5 minutes.
  • Add the sweet potato wedges to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle them with the oil and sprinkle with the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Gently toss to coat.
  • Spread the potatoes evenly in the air fryer basket. Avoid overlapping them, but they can touch.
  • Roast in the air fryer at 375°F for 10 minutes. Check the sweet potatoes for doneness. When ready, they will be fork-tender and crispy on the edges. If not, cook for another 2-5 minutes until tender inside and crispy at the edges.
    Note: The cooking time will vary depending on how thin you cut the potatoes and your desired crispiness.
  • Season the sweet potatoes to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle them with minced fresh parsley or cilantro and serve hot! Serve with gochujang aioli (recipe below) or ketchup.

Notes

Recipe Pro-Tips
  • Preheat. Preheat for at least 5 minutes so the wedges turn crispy. Skip this step if your manufacturer doesn’t recommend preheating.
  • Cut evenly. Wedges that are all about the same size cook at the same rate.
  • Use one layer. The wedges can touch, but don’t let them overlap, or they’ll steam instead of crisp. Cook in batches if needed.
  • Turn halfway. If they’re browning unevenly, shake the basket or turn the wedges after 10 minutes.
  • Adjust the time. Air fry for 10–15 minutes at 375°F. Use the longer end for thicker wedges and the shorter end for thinner ones.
Storage
  • Refrigerate: Keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze: Cool to room temperature, then freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat: Air fry at 375°F for 3–5 minutes.
