Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries are the PERFECT way to make crispy sweet potato fries without deep frying! Includes two easy dipping sauce recipes.

Well, today was the day. My sweet baby boy, my one and only, started Kindergarten! So now, we’re back-to-school and I’m back in the mode of finding easy, healthy meals that everybody will eat. My son and husband don’t love sweet potatoes, but you can’t ignore how healthy they are!

I found that they don’t mind Sweet Potato Fries, so I started experimenting with ways to make them. Baked sweet potato fries always came out a bit soggy. Deep fried sweet potato fries were great, but then you have the oil and mess associated with it! I landed on these Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries, and they are PERFECT!

Why cook sweet potato fries in your air fryer? Well, because it does something better than both the oven and deep fryer can do. It makes them crispy WITHOUT using very much oil! This is the Air Fryer that I use. It’s big and relatively affordable considering the size!

These Sweet Potato Fries are an excellent side for a simple protein main course. I serve them with my favorite Cowboy Burgers or these easy Maple Dijon Chicken Breasts!

If you want to use only your air fryer to make dinner, you can pair these air fryer sweet potato fries with these AMAZING Air Fryer Chicken Thighs! They’re seasoned to perfection and then lightly coated with your favorite barbecue sauce.
