This recipe for easy Air Fryer Sweet Potato Wedges makes a perfect crispy and healthy side dish. These homemade seasoned wedges are whole 30 compliant. They can be air fried quickly and are the best way to make sweet potato wedges.

We love these air fryer sweet potato wedges for a snack also. They are great to serve for a crowd at a gathering or to make for a snack. I like to cut up and soak six sweet potatoes so I can make more than one batch at a time.

It is key when making a larger batch not to try to crowd them into your air fryer. It is best to stick to no more than two medium sweet potatoes cut up in your air fryer at a time.

If you crowd the potatoes or stack them on top of each other they won't get a crispy exterior and may not cook completely. When I'm doing multiple batches I air fry and switch them out while I make the rest of dinner.

Are air fried sweet potatoes healthy?

Since these aren't deep fried they are a healthier version than wedges or fries that are. We do use oil in this recipe to bind the spices to the potatoes, but it's much less oil on the fries than you would get if they were deep fried.

I also like that by using the air fryer I can control the type of oil I use. I used olive oil in this recipe, but I could have also use avocado oil or coconut oil. I'm able to choose healthier options when I air fry the sweet potatoes at home.

How do I air fry sweet potato wedges?

These gluten free air fryer sweet potato wedges are really simple to make. I like to soak the chopped up sweet potatoes in water for an hour before air frying.

By soaking the sweet potatoes you remove some of the excess starch. Removing the excess starch helps the sweet potatoes not to stick together and to get a crispy exterior.

Drain and pat dry the sweet potatoes. In a bowl add the sweet potatoes, olive oil, sea salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika. Stir to coat the sweet potatoes in the mixture.

Lay the wedges out in the air fryer basket so they aren't touching. Air fryer at 400 degrees for 11 minutes.
