Ingredients

3 medium sweet potatoes
2 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon cilantro leaves optional

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (176°C).
Meanwhile, wash your sweet potatoes well. Use a sharp knife to slice the potatoes into into 1/4 inch fries.
Toss the fries in a large bowl with the oil and season with salt and pepper.
Transfer the fries to the air fryer, being careful not to overcrowd it, and cook for 25 minutes. Turn the fries or shake the basket every 7-10 minutes. Near the end, watch closely and remove any that are well done before they burn.
Season the fries again lightly to taste and serve with avocado aioli and a sprinkle of cilantro leaves.

Notes

To roast the sweet potato fries in the oven:

Follow the same method as above, but lay the potatoes flat on a parchment lined baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes, turning once halfway through.
