Air fryer paprika sweet potato wedges

Instructions

  • 1.

    Cut 400 g peeled sweet potato into 1.5 cm thick wedges and dry thoroughly.
    Preheat the empty basket for 3 minutes at 190 °C in Air Fry mode if allowed by the manual.

  • 2.

    Toss with the 9 g oil, paprika and half the salt.
    Arrange in a single layer in a basket at least 20 × 20 cm; use two batches if the wedges overlap.

  • 3.

    Air fry at 190 °C for 18–22 minutes per batch, turning after 10 minutes.
    From 18 minutes, a knife should slide through a wedge easily and the edges should be lightly browned.
    Add 2 minutes if needed.

  • 4.

    Mix the yogurt with the lemon juice and remaining salt.
    Serve the cold dip alongside the freshly cooked wedges.

Tips from Atelier Airfryer

A tip for better texture

Sweet potato stays softer than potato fries.
Dry the wedges and leave gaps instead of cooking until the paprika turns dark.

Do sweet potatoes need blanching?

Not for these 1.5 cm wedges: cook them directly in the air fryer.
Cut evenly and dry the surface thoroughly; check that the centre is tender with a knife.
This method does not require parboiling.

Adjusting batches

The displayed 22 minutes cover one batch; allow 18–22 minutes at 190 °C depending on your appliance.
The 3-minute preheat is included in preparation time.
If the basket is too small, repeat cooking without stacking the food.

Useful accessory (Amazon affiliate link)

Turn the pieces without scratching the coating using Silicone tongs.
