Servings: 4 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 20-25 minutes | Total Time: 30-35 minutes

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

1. Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for 3-5 minutes.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Serve: Pile the hot wedges on a plate and serve with the yogurt dip on the side—or your favourite dipping sauce. Enjoy immediately for maximum crunch!
