Crispy Air Fryer Sweet Potato Wedges Recipe

Crispy, golden air fryer sweet potato wedges ready in minutes — a healthy, simple side dish perfect for busy families and weeknight meals.

Sweet potatoes are one of those versatile ingredients I always reach for. Their natural sweetness works equally well roasted, mashed, grilled, or turned into these air fryer wedges that have a crisp exterior and tender center.

Why you’ll love this recipe

Healthier: These wedges are air fried instead of deep fried, so they use far less oil while still delivering great texture.

Fast: The air fryer heats quickly and cooks these wedges in about ten minutes per batch, yielding a crispy, fried-like finish. They’re perfect for dipping in ketchup, chipotle mayonnaise, or your favorite sauce.

Ingredients

This recipe uses just a few simple ingredients. I like tossing the wedges with olive oil and Everything but the Bagel seasoning — a mix of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and sea salt flakes — but feel free to use your favorite spice blend.

How to make sweet potato wedges in the air fryer

Wash and peel the sweet potatoes (or leave the skins on if you prefer). On a cutting board, use a sharp knife to cut each sweet potato into wedges about 1/4 inch thick so they cook evenly.

Variations

Swap the seasoning to match your meal. These wedges are delicious with taco seasoning, fajita seasoning, Italian herbs, cajun spice, or your favorite dry BBQ rub for a smoky kick.

What to serve with Air Fryer Sweet Potatoes

These wedges are great with simple dips like ketchup, chipotle mayonnaise, ranch, or blue cheese. They also pair well with protein mains such as turkey burgers, bratwurst, or bacon-wrapped hot dogs for a family-friendly meal.

FAQS

How long should I air fry the sweet potato wedges?

Plan on about 10 minutes at 370°F, flipping once halfway through. Depending on your air fryer model and how many wedges you cook at once, you might need to work in two or three batches.

Can I air fry sweet potato wedges without oil?

A small amount of oil helps the wedges crisp as hot air circulates. You can use much less oil than traditional frying and still get a satisfying texture.

Can I make these with other seasonings?

Yes — experiment with cajun seasoning, cayenne for heat, or Tex‑Mex blends like fajita seasoning. They adapt well to many flavor profiles.

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Everything but the Bagel Seasoning

Farm Girl Tips

  • Serve wedges immediately for best texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat in the air fryer at 370°F for 2–3 minutes.
  • The same method works well with regular white potatoes.
  • Vegetable oil can be used instead of olive oil.
  • If you leave the skins on, they’re edible but a bit chewier.
  • Cut wedges to uniform size for even cooking.
