Background

These spiced air fryer sweet potatoes are a quick, flavour-packed side dish that’s ready in under 30 minutes, making them ideal for busy weeknights or when you want something easy while the main dish is cooking. Air frying keeps them crispy on the outside and fluffy inside, using minimal oil while delivering maximum flavour.
Seasoned with smoked paprika, cumin and garlic, and finished with a splash of lime juice, these sweet potato wedges are perfect on the side of burgers, grilled chicken, pork ribs, barbecued meats or vegetarian mains. For extra heat, you can easily adapt the recipe by adding cayenne pepper or a little chipotle paste to the spice mix.

Ingredients

2 large sweet potatoes
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp ground cumin
Juice of ½ lime
1 handful cherry tomatoes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Cut the sweet potatoes into evenly sized wedges.
In a bowl, mix the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Place the sweet potato wedges into the air fryer basket and brush or toss them with the spiced oil until evenly coated.
Air fry at 180–190°C (or use the fries setting) for 15 minutes.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the basket, then return to the air fryer for a further 10 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are golden, crispy on the outside and tender inside.
Serve hot as a side dish or as part of a sharing platter.
