Ingredients
For the Wedges:
- 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs/680g), scrubbed and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
For the Yogurt Dip (Optional):
- 1/2 cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
- 1 tsp honey
- Pinch of salt and smoked paprika
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for 3-5 minutes.
- Prep the Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato wedges with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Air Fry: Arrange the wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket (work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding). Cook for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the wedges halfway through, until crispy and golden on the edges.
- Make the Dip (Optional): While the wedges cook, whisk together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, honey, salt, and a pinch of smoked paprika in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.
