Ingredients
1 bag frozen sweet potato waffle fries
Cooking spray (optional)
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Garlic powder (optional)
Smoked paprika (optional)
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray if desired.
Arrange the frozen sweet potato waffle fries in a single layer without overcrowding the basket.
Air fry for 10–14 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the fries halfway through cooking.
Cook an additional 2–3 minutes if you prefer extra crispy fries.
Season the hot fries with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, or smoked paprika if desired.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
Cook the fries directly from frozen for the crispiest results.
Avoid overcrowding the basket so hot air can circulate evenly.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, Cajun seasoning, ranch seasoning, cinnamon sugar, or chili powder for extra flavor.
Turn them into loaded waffle fries with cheddar cheese, bacon, green onions, and sour cream.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) air fryer for 3–5 minutes until crispy. Avoid microwaving for the best texture.
