Instructions

1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:

Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into uniform ¼-inch sticks.
Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

2. Season the Fries:

Place the sweet potato sticks in a large bowl.
Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat.
Sprinkle with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss again to distribute the seasonings evenly.

3. Preheat the Air Fryer:

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even cooking.

4. Cook the Fries:

Arrange the sweet potato fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding.
Cook for 25–30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure crispiness.

5. Make the Dipping Sauce:

While the fries cook, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and paprika in a small bowl until smooth.
Optionally, chill the sauce in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to enhance the flavors.

6. Serve:

Transfer the crispy sweet potato fries to a serving plate, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve with the dipping sauce.

Notes

Customization: Add a pinch of cayenne for spice, or swap olive oil for avocado oil for a different flavor.
Storage: Leftover fries can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for best results.
