    ⭐ Why this recipe is so good

    Tasty healthy comfort food. These air fryer sweet potato wedges are just as moreish as regular French fries, but far healthier than take-out!

    No need to turn the oven on. Save both time and money by air frying up your potato wedges.

    Easy recipe. Simply toss the sweet potato wedges in oil, herbs and spices, then cook them up!

    🍠 Ingredients

    individually labelled ingredients to make air fryer sweet potato wedges including garlic powder, paprika and olive oil.

    All the ingredients and their quantities are set out in the recipe card below.

    Some notes on a few of them:

    • Sweet potatoes - it's down to preference whether you peel them or not. Personally I tend to, but it's not necessary. We are making wedges rather than sweet potato fries, so dice them a little more chunky!
    • Paprika - you can use either regular paprika or sweet paprika. My low histamine readers will likely wish to use sweet paprika.
    • Garlic powder - add a pinch more if you're a garlic lover!

    📖 Swaps and variations

    Add more spice! If you like more spicy sweet potato wedges, then add in a pinch of your favorite spices.

    🔪 Step by step instructions

    Making these air fryer sweet potato wedges is very simple, with just a few steps:

    peeled sweet potato wedges on a wooden board next to a bowl of thyme labelled number one.

    Step 1

    Prepare the sweet potatoes. It's up to you whether to peel or not, but always slice the ends off! Then use a sharp knife to dice into wedges (image 1).

    Step 2

    Spice up your sweet potato wedges! Add the wedges to a large bowl. Drizzle in the olive oil and sprinkle in the garlic powder, herbs and spice. Toss to coat or use your hands so the wedges are all covered in the oil-spice mixture (image 2).

    Step 3

    Cook up your air fried sweet potato wedges. Use tongs to place the wedges in the air fryer basket, making sure they are in an even layer with a little space between them (image 3).

    Air fry for 15 minutes at 390F / 200C, shaking the basket or flipping the wedges with tongs halfway through cook time. For more browning, air fry for a few more minutes to preference. Cook time will vary slightly depending on the thickness of the wedges. Very thin wedges will need less time.

    💭 Recipe tips and notes

    • Dice the sweet potatoes into fairly similar sized wedges for an even cook time.
    • Very thin wedges will need less cook time, and thicker wedges will need a few more minutes.
    • Ensure the sweet potato wedges are in an even layer with space between them as it helps them get nice and crispy! If necessary work in batches if you have a smaller air fryer.
    • Flip or shake the wedges halfway through the cook time.
    • Add more spice for an even spicier sweet potato wedge!

    📋 Frequently asked questions

    Do you have to peel sweet potatoes to make sweet potato wedges?

    It's down to preference whether to peel your sweet potatoes or not. Peeled or not peeled, both give you tasty wedges!

    How long do sweet potato wedges take to cook in the air fryer?

    Sweet potato wedges take about 15 minutes to cook in the air fryer, but this may need to be adjusted slightly for thinner or thicker wedges.

    How do I get crispy air fryer sweet potato wedges?

    For sweet potato wedges with crispy edges you want to spread them out in an even layer with space between them in your air fryer basket. Make sure to cook for long enough so they crisp up on the edges but are still fluffy in the middle.

    Equipment

    • Air Fryer
    • Tongs

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 large sweet potatoes or 3 smaller
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon paprika regular or sweet paprika*
    • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
    • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder more to preference
    • pinch salt
    • pinch black pepper

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat the air fryer at 390F / 200C for 3 minutes.
    • Peel the sweet potatoes, and remove the ends. Dice into wedges with a sharp knife.
    • Place the sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle on the olive oil and sprinkle over the paprika, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. Toss to coat the sweet potatoes.
    • Use tongs to place the wedges in the air fryer basket in an even layer, with a little space between them. You may need to work in batches if you have a smaller air fryer or dual basket air fryer.
    • Air fry for 15 minutes at 390F / 200C, shaking the basket or flipping the wedges with tongs halfway through cook time. For more browning, air fry for a few more minutes to preference. Cook time will vary slightly depending on the thickness of the wedges.

    Notes

    *I suggest that my low histamine readers use sweet paprika and not regular or smoked paprika.
    • Dice the sweet potatoes into roughly similar size wedges for an even cook time.
    • Thinner wedges will have a slightly shorter cook time, and thicker wedges slightly longer. Have a check on them every 4-5 minutes and adjust the cook time as needed.
    • Flip using tongs or shake the basket well halfway through the cook time.

    Hi, I’m Claire. After a diagnosis of MCAS I began to follow a low histamine diet, which has helped me manage my symptoms. Here I hope to show that a restrictive diet can still be full of flavourful meals, and help you enjoy being creative in the kitchen.
