Air Fryer Sweet Potato Wedges Recipe FAQs:
The most common reason you end up with soggy sweet potato fries is due to overcrowding. Do not overcrowd the sweet potatoes when you place them in the basket for cooking. If the basket is overcrowded, it prevents the sweet potatoes from cooking evenly.
While others may recommend soaking your sweet potatoes before cooking them in an air fryer, I do not find it necessary to complete this step. In my experience, this step does not make much of a difference.
Yes! Air-frying recipes are a healthy alternative to other cooking methods as they do not use oil. The difference between air-fried sweet potato fries and regular fries is nominal.
