Place the basket in the air fryer and air fry for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure that the fries cook evenly.

Check the fries for doneness after 10 minutes by piercing one with a fork. They are done if the fork goes in easily and the fries are crispy. If they need more time, cook for 1-2 minutes.

Best Dipping Sauces for Sweet Potato Fries

Chipotle Mayo: This spicy and creamy sauce combines mayonnaise with chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. It adds a smoky and spicy kick to sweet potato fries.
Garlic Aioli: Made by blending garlic, mayonnaise, and lemon juice, this creamy and tangy sauce pairs well with sweet potatoes.
Honey Mustard: A classic dipping sauce made with honey, mustard, and a touch of mayonnaise or sour cream. The sweetness of the honey goes well with the natural sweetness of the fries.
BBQ Sauce: A smoky and tangy barbecue sauce is a great dip for my Alexia sweet potato fries air fryer recipe. It adds a savory and slightly sweet flavor to the fries.
Ranch Dressing: A cool and creamy ranch dressing goes well with the earthy sweetness of sweet potatoes. It’s a classic!
Cinnamon Sugar: If you prefer a sweeter taste, sprinkle some cinnamon sugar over your fries. It’s a delicious and unique combination of sweet and savory flavors.

Alexia Sweet Potato Fries in Air Fryer Pro Tips

Preheat Your Air Fryer: Preheating your air fryer for 5 minutes before cooking will ensure that the fries cook evenly and have a crispy texture. Many recipes skip this step, but it’s a must before I air fry my Alexia sweet potato waffle fries!
Don’t Overcrowd the Basket: Make sure to spread the fries out in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding them. This will help them cook evenly and get crispy on all sides.
Shake the Basket: Shake the basket at least once (a couple of times is better) during cooking to ensure that the air fryer Alexia sweet potato fries cook evenly and have a crispy texture.
Don’t Add Too Much Oil: Lightly spray the fries with cooking spray or toss them with a small amount of oil before cooking to help them crisp up without being too greasy. Remember, you really don’t need to add much when cooking with an air fryer.
Use a High Temperature: I use a higher temperature than what’s recommended on the Alexia package for the crispiest and crunchiest results ever.
Serve Immediately: Sweet potato fries are best when served immediately after cooking. They lose their crispiness over time, so try to serve them immediately to enjoy their best texture and flavor.

Air Fry Alexia Sweet Potato Fries FAQs

Are frozen sweet potato fries in air fryer healthy?

Making sweet potato fries in an air fryer is a healthy alternative to traditional deep-fried fries! Plus, sweet potatoes are also a great source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They are high in vitamin A, vitamin C, and potassium and feature antioxidants. So, yes, they make an excellent and healthy side dish for the whole family to enjoy!

Why are my air fryer sweet potato fries not crispy?

There could be a few reasons why your air fryer Alexia sweet potato fries aren’t crispy. Remember not to overcrowd the basket, and be careful not to allow the fries to thaw before air frying — if you do, the excess moisture will make them soggy. I always recommend a bit of cooking spray too. It will help the exterior crisp up like you want it to! Finally, double-check the air fryer is set to 400 degrees F. A higher temp = crunchy results.

How long do you air fry Alexia sweet potato fries?

The cooking time for frozen sweet potato fries in an air fryer may vary depending on your air fryer. Start with 10-12 minutes at 400 degrees F and check on them periodically as they cook.

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
Spread the frozen sweet potato fries out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
Check for doneness by piercing one with a fork. They are done if the fork goes in easily and the fries are crispy and golden brown.
