Preheat the air fryer by running it at 400 °F for 5 minutes.
Peel and wash the sweet potatoes, and cut into sticks ¼ inch thick.
2 large sweet potatoes
Place the sweet potato fries in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper then toss to coat evenly.
1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon fine table salt, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Spread out the sweet potato fries in an even layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure there is not overlap, and some space around the fries for the air to circulate.
Set your air fryer timer to 8 minutes and the temperature to 400 °F.
After 8 minutes, remove the fry basket and shake it around a few times to ensure even cooking. Then place it back in the air fryer cook for another 7 minutes.
Check and see if the fries are cooked to your liking. If not, add 3-5 minutes more.

Sweet potato fries are best eaten directly after cooking, while they're still hot and crispy. However, you can also store leftoves.

Storing: Store leftovers in the fridge in an air tight container for up to 4 days.
Freezing: I do not recommend freezing leftovers.
Reheating: Reheat leftovers in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 4-6 minutes, shaking once halfway.
Make a casserole: Leftover sweet potato fries are delicious made into a french fry casserole.
