Rinse sweet potatoes in water and let them air dry or pat them dry with a paper towel.
Use a sharp knife and slice the ends of each sweet potato.
Cut them into similar-sized wedges (lengthwise) so they cook evenly, and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Combine salt, pepper, paprika, cinnamon, and garlic powder into a seasoning mix in a separate medium bowl.
Pour olive oil over the wedges and toss them to lightly coat.
Pour seasoning blend over the wedges and toss them together to coat evenly.

FAQ's

What can I serve with these homemade wedges?

Serve them alongside a thick cut pork chop, a succulent steak or a piece of almond crusted swordfish with a fresh salad. A few other dishes to serve these with are homemade meatloaf, sunny side up eggs and toast or with sausage and peppers on top of chimichurri flank steak.

How should I store leftovers?

Do you have to soak sweet potatoes in water before air frying?

No! but you should rinse them. Rub any excess dirt off of the skin with your hands or use a vegetable brush so any grittiness gets removed prior to eating them. There is no need to soak them for a long period of time. It is all about getting the skin clean, so they are ready to be cooked.

Absolutely! The seasonings in this recipe go really well with the texture and flavor of the sweet potato. But honestly, many flavor profiles can be used in this recipe. It all really comes down to your personal taste. Whether it is spicy, sweet, acidic, or herbaceous, that is up to you.
