I love sweet potatoes and will happily use them in a variety of recipes, such as salads, casseroles, curries, or as a healthy substitute for french fries. I enjoy the rare break from the boring old regular spud! Perfectly seasoned and with a delightfully crisp exterior and tender interior, these sweet potato fries are sure to please.
If you don't have an air fryer, don't worry! You can also modify this recipe for baking in the oven.
Is this recipe appropriate for Slimming World followers?
There is a reason why these fries are not Syn Free, which is one element that might not live up to expectations. Frylight can cause serious problems for your air fryer; for this recipe, oil works better. We suggest using one teaspoon of oil, preferably olive oil, so each serving of this recipe is equal to half a Syn.
