How to prepare your sweet potato for this recipe.
Leaving the skin on the potato is an option however, before you do anything I would suggest cleaning the skin (I soak mine and rinse them). To cut the potatoes first cut them in half lengthwise then slice the halves into sticks that are close in size and about a quarter to one half inch thick.
 

Here are some tips for air frying fries.

I just mentioned that you should choose a sweet potato that is firm and free of bruising. To cut the fries simply cut the potato in half lengthwise and cut the potatoes into fries that are around a quarter to one half inch thick.

Here are some more helpful tips for you.

1. Some folks like to add a bit of cornstarch (a tablespoon or two) to the seasonings. The cornstarch will help make the fries more crisp.
2. For best results, I suggest making this recipe in batches. It is better to not have the sweet potato fries overlap when in the air fryer because they will not air fry evenly.
3. It is essential that you turn or shake the fries at least once while they are in the air fryer. This will help them air fry more evenly.

How to serve air fried sweet potato fries.

Yes, you could easily do the usual dip your fries in ketchup.
