Crispy Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries with Tajin®

01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

cooking spray 2 medium sweet potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch-thick fries 3 teaspoons avocado oil 1 ½ teaspoons chili-lime seasoning (such as Tajin®) Dipping Sauce: ¼ cup mayonnaise 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lime juice 4 lime wedges

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. While it’s warming up, give the basket a quick spray with some cooking spray so the fries don’t stick. In a big bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with avocado oil until they’re nicely coated. Sprinkle on the chili-lime seasoning, about 1 1/2 teaspoons, and mix everything together so the fries are evenly seasoned. Place the fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer—do it in batches if you need to so they cook evenly. Cook them for 8 to 9 minutes, shaking the basket and turning the fries halfway through to get them crispy all over. While the fries are cooking, whisk together some mayonnaise, lime juice, and a bit of the chili-lime seasoning to make a tasty dipping sauce. Once the fries are golden and crispy, serve them up with the sauce and some fresh lime wedges on the side.

03 / EXTRA DETAILS

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Cut the sweet potatoes into even sticks to ensure they cook evenly.
- Shake the basket halfway through cooking to help fries crisp up on all sides.
- Lightly toss the fries in oil before air frying to get the best texture.

Why you’ll love it

These fries are perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Using an air fryer means less oil but all the crunch. The Tajin® seasoning adds a tangy, spicy kick that makes every bite exciting.

Serving ideas

Serve these fries with a cool avocado crema or a simple lime mayo dip. They also pair well with grilled chicken or fish for a light meal. A squeeze of fresh lime on top enhances the Tajin® flavors beautifully.

Storage & leftovers

Store leftover fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, pop them back in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain their crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
