Notes
Cut evenly: Ensure sweet potato wedges are cut to a similar size for even cooking and crispiness.
Dry thoroughly: Pat the sweet potatoes dry before tossing them with oil to help them crisp up better.
Don’t overcrowd: Arrange the wedges in a single layer in the air fryer. Overcrowding can lead to uneven cooking and less crispiness.
Adjust for size: If your sweet potato wedges are larger or thicker, you may need to increase the cooking time slightly.
Watch closely: Keep an eye on the wedges during the last few minutes of cooking to avoid burning.
