    Frozen sweet potato fries in the air fryer are the perfect side. They're crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and they have all that great sweet potato flavor that we love.

    French fries are one of my go-to sides, but when I discovered sweet potato fries, I never looked back. These fries are so delicious, and they're always cooked to perfection.

    FAQ

    Do you have questions about air fryer frozen sweet potato fries? Here are some of the most commonly asked questions about frozen sweet potato fries in air fryer.

    Why are my fries soggy in the air fryer?

    You probably overcrowded them in the basket. This causes the sweet potatoes to steam rather than air fry.

    I sprayed my air fryer basket. Why did my sweet potato fries stick?

    When spraying your basket, it's important to hit every nook and cranny. The fries can stick to any part of the basket that hasn't been coated.

    How do I reheat these sweet potato fries?

    Place the sweet potato fries on a baking sheet and bake them for 10 to 15 minutes in the oven at 425-degrees.
