Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F.
Cut the sweet potatoes into wedges on a cutting board and place them in a large bowl.
1 sweet potato
In a small bowl, mix all the dry spices together and then mix in the oil.
1 tablespoon avocado oil, ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder, ½ teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon cumin powder, ¼ teaspoon black pepper powder, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, salt to tatse
Add the oil and spices to the wedges to get an even coating.
Spray the bottom of the air fryer pan with an olive oil spray.
Place the sweet potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Adjust the 'cook time' for 15 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
Remove from the air fryer and serve with your favorite dipping sauce. I like tangy sides like ketchup, vegan sour cream, or vegan ranch dressing.
The best part of this healthy side dish is when your whole family gets to enjoy them within 20 minutes of starting it!

Try to cut the sweet potatoes into even wedges so they will cook evenly.
Place them on paper towels or a wire rack to let them cool down before serving.
Adjust the number of sweet potato wedges depending on the size of your air fryer.
Flipping the wedges halfway through the air frying step ensures that they do not get burnt on one side.
Add black pepper and onion powder into the spice mix if you prefer a little more heat and flavor.
If your air fryer doesn’t have a basket, you can line the air fryer with foil and place the sweet potatoes on top. Just be sure to spray the foil with cooking spray so the potatoes don’t stick.
Don’t overcrowd your air fryer! If you need to cook more than one batch, cook them in batches so the air can circulate around the potatoes and they will cook evenly.
Sweet potatoes get darker as they air-fry. If you want to keep them light in color, air fry them for a shorter amount of time.
If you want extra crispy sweet potato wedges, you can toss them with cornstarch before air frying. Just add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the bowl with the potatoes and oil and mix everything together until the potatoes are coated. Then, air fry according to the recipe instructions.
