Crispy Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries with Spicy Honey

  • Author: Luciana
  • Total Time: 25-30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

These air fryer sweet potato fries are shatteringly crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, finished with a addictive spicy honey drizzle. Ready in under 30 minutes with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes (approx. 1.5 lbs / 680g)
  • 1.5 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sriracha or chili garlic sauce
  • 1/2 tsp rice vinegar

Instructions

  1. Wash sweet potatoes and cut into 1/4-inch to 3/8-inch thick sticks. For extra crispiness, soak in cold water for 20-30 minutes, then drain and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels.
  2. Place cut fries in a large bowl. Drizzle with avocado oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, and kosher salt. Toss until every fry is lightly coated.
  3. Preheat air fryer to 380°F (190°C).
  4. Arrange fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary.
  5. Air fry for 15-18 minutes, shaking the basket vigorously halfway through (at 7-8 minutes) to ensure even cooking.
  6. While fries cook, whisk together honey, soy sauce, sriracha, and rice vinegar in a small bowl. Microwave honey for 10 seconds if it is too thick to mix easily.
  7. Transfer hot fries to a serving plate and drizzle generously with the spicy honey sauce. Serve immediately.

Notes

Soaking the fries in cold water draws out excess starch, which is key for crispiness. Ensure fries are patted completely dry before oiling. Do not microwave leftovers as they will become chewy; reheat in the air fryer at 375°F for 3-4 minutes to restore crispness.
