ingredients You’ll Need
You need just a few simple ingredients for this air fryer sweet potato wedges recipe. You can find the exact amounts in the recipe card.
- Medium sweet potatoes – trim the ends off of the sweet potatoes and cut into wedges. I try to keep the wedges even in size so that everything cooks evenly.
- Oil – I usually use avocado oil for high heat cooking, but you can also use olive oil, melted coconut oil or any other vegetable oil.
- Homemade seasoning blend – mix salt, pepper, smoked paprika, cayenne, cinnamon, onion powder, and garlic powder together to form a seasoning blend that is savory and slightly spicy.
How to make Air Fryer Sweet Potato Wedges
Step 1: Cut sweet potatoes into wedges and place in a large bowl. Toss them with oil.
Step 2: Mix seasoning blend together in a separate small mixing bowl. Toss sweet potato wedges in the seasoning blend until evenly coated.
Step 3: Arrange sweet potato wedges in a single layer on an air fryer tray so that there is at least a little space between each one. You may need to cook these in multiple batches.
Step 4: Air fry at 350F until golden brown on the outside and tender on the inside.
Mad’s Expert Tips for the Best Crispy Air Fryer Sweet Potatoes 🍠
- Cut into even sized wedges – to ensure even cooking throughout the whole batch, try to cut the wedges into similar sizes. This can take some work because sweet potatoes come in many different shapes and sizes!
- Add a pinch of cayenne – balance the sweetness of the potatoes with a pinch of cayenne pepper powder! If you are worried it will be too spicy, you can use a teaspoon of chili powder instead.
- Leave some space between each wedge – for crispy edges and a soft texture inside, leave some space between each wedge on the air fryer tray. This allows the for the air to circulate evenly around the sweet potatoes and create perfect crispy wedges.
If you’d prefer to make regular potatoes try these air fryer french fries or even air fryer red potatoes!

Air Fryer Seasoned Sweet Potato Wedges
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Slice the ends off each sweet potato and cut them into wedges. Combine salt, pepper, smoked paprika, cayenne, cinnamon, onion powder, and garlic powder to make a seasoning blend.
- Pour oil over the sweet potato wedges and toss to coat them. Pour the seasoning blend into the bowl and toss again to coat.
- Preheat air fryer to 350F for 5 minutes. Arrange sweet potato wedges in an air fryer basket. Make sure that the wedges are not touching – you may need to cook them in more than one batch.
- Air fry the seasoned sweet potato wedges at 350F for 8 minute. Remove them from the air fryer, flip them, and return them to cook for another 4-8 minutes (exact timing will depend on your particular air fryer, but you will want the inside to be fork tender.) Allow them to cool slightly and enjoy!
