Frozen sweet potato fries
You can pretty much find frozen sweet potato fries at any grocery store in the frozen section. There are many options and you can pick whichever you like. We always go with the gluten-free ones.
You do not need oil or anything for this recipe. Feel free to use whatever spices you want though. I’ve heard of some people using garlic powder or onion powder.
How to make the sweet potato fries
- Preheat air fryer at 350 degrees
- Place the frozen sweet potato fries in the bottom of the air fryer basket in a single layer
- Lay down parchment paper or use olive oil if you would like
- Cook for 16 minutes or until cooked through
- You can turn the fries over one time through if desired.
Top Tip: You can put your sweet potato fries back in the air fryer for a couple more minutes if you find they’re not fully cooked.
For this recipe, you will want to cook these fries at 350 degrees. Some recipes call for 400 degrees. It just depends on how you want your fries cooked and which air fryer brand you use.
No. You can use olive oil or even no oil (like this recipe calls for), but Pam has chemicals that can damage your air fryer.
Yes, but I usually use parchment paper as it is safer. When using aluminum foil, you have to be extra careful because it could damage your air fryer. If you cover an important part of the air fryer, it could cause issues.

How to store leftovers
One of the best things about an air fryer are the leftovers. I have never had such delicious leftovers until I started heating them up in the air fryer.
Allow the sweet potato fries to cool before placing them in an airtight container. Make sure you line the container with a paper towel first. The paper towel keeps them from getting soggy.
Then, put them in the refrigerator. They will last 3-5 days.
You can reheat the leftover sweet potato fries in the air fryer for 3-5 minutes at 350 degrees. Using the air fryer will keep the fries crispy, rather than soggy in the microwave.
