In the search for an air fryer?
If you’re on the search for an air fryer, I use one similar to this one! I love it. My air fryer lives on my kitchen counter because I use it so much. It’s a game changer for quick meals!
How to make Cinnamon Maple Sweet Potato Fries in the air fryer:
- Start by cutting sweet potatoes into wedges. Combine them in a large bowl and spray with avocado oil spray, sea salt and cinnamon.
- Place in the air fryer to bake at 400 for 15 minutes. Flipping half way through.
- Prepare candied pecans by mixing together pecans, maple syrup, cinnamon and coconut sugar. Place in the oven to bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Stirring up half way through.
- After fries are finished in the air fryer (depending on size of air fryer, you may need to do this in 2 increments), pour fries back into the bowl and add maple syrup, coconut sugar and a little more cinnamon.
- Place in the air fryer back at 400 for 5 more minutes.
- Top off with pomegranate seeds, goat cheese, candied pecans and rosemary.
Can you eat the skin on a sweet potato?
Yes! The skin is rich in fiber and other nutrients so they are great to keep on the sweet potato when you cook it. Plus, they add a good touch to these wedges.
Recipe notes: I haven’t made these any other way besides for the air fryer! I think the air fryer makes them crispier than cooking in the oven which is why I made these only in an air fryer 🙂 Time may need to be adjusted based on differences in air fryer!
