Calories: 180kcal
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.
- garlic, which scores 1.
- black pepper, which scores 2.
