👩‍🍳 Instructions

1
Cut sweet potatoes into ¼–⅓-inch sticks, keeping pieces similar in size.
2
Place cut fries in a large bowl and cover with cold water; soak for 20–30 minutes to remove surface starch.
3
Drain and dry fries thoroughly with towels or a salad spinner until mostly moisture-free.
4
Toss fries with cornstarch until lightly coated, then add oil, salt, pepper, and spices; toss to combine.
5
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange fries in a single layer in the basket without overcrowding.
6
Air-fry for 12–18 minutes, shaking or flipping at 7–9 minutes. Increase temp to 420°F for the last 2 minutes for extra crispness if desired.
7
Sprinkle with flaky salt and serve immediately with dipping sauce.

Pro Tips

Soak fries for at least 20 minutes to remove surface starch. Dry thoroughly to avoid steaming. Cook in batches if necessary; re-crisp in the air fryer at 375°F for 4–6 minutes.
