Equipment

Air Fryer
mixing bowl

Ingredients

1 large sweet potato thinly sliced
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt

For the Garlic Aioli

2 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup mayonnaise
1 garlic clove pressed
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Slice the sweet potatoes into thin strips, shaped like a french fry
Toss the french fries into olive oil, making sure all the french fries are coated with the oil.
Prep the air fryer with a single layer of sweet potato fries, then close the drawer (or in this case, top) and air fry for 12-15 minutes or until crispy on all sides. If your air fryer goes by temperature, air fry at 390º.
Meanwhile, whisk together mayonnaise, garlic, garlic powder, lemon juice, and salt. Serve aside the sweet potatoes.

Notes

Remember to stick to a single layer of sweet potato when frying them. The reason for this is we want each sweet potato to cook evenly and become as crisp on the exterior as possible. If they overlap, this runs the risk of the sweet potatoes not cooking evenly, and also become soggy.

Season with salt immediately after the sweet potato fries are removed from the air fryer. This helps the salt adhere to the fries quicker.

Keep the skin on! The skin of a sweet potato has nutrients in it, and also gives a little extra crunch and crisp when air fried.
