Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into wedge shapes, about 1 inch thick. Try to keep them uniform for even cooking.

    Season: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Add the sweet potato wedges to the bowl and toss well to coat them evenly with the seasoning mixture.

      Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. This step helps achieve that perfect crispy texture.

        Arrange in the Basket: Place the seasoned sweet potato wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding—work in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking.

          Cooking Time: Air fry the sweet potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure they cook evenly. Cook until they're golden brown and crispy.

            Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the sweet potato wedges from the air fryer. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for garnish and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or yogurt.
