Alexia Waffle Cut Sweet Potato Fries (Air Fryer)
Crispy waffle-cut sweet potato fries cook perfectly in the air fryer straight from frozen. High heat and a mid-cook shake deliver golden ridges and a tender center without any added oil. Ideal for a quick side or snack with minimal cleanup.
Equipment
- Air fryer
- Air fryer basket or tray
- Salt and pepper shaker
Ingredients
- 10 ounces Alexia waffle cut sweet potato fries frozen
- Salt to taste, optional
- Black pepper to taste, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 2 minutes.
- Add frozen fries to the basket in a single layer; do not crowd.
- Cook at 400°F for 12 minutes total.
- Shake the basket at the 6-minute mark for even browning.
- Check at 10 minutes; edges should be turning golden. Continue cooking until ridges are deeply browned and centers are tender (about 2 more minutes).
- Transfer to a serving dish immediately and season with salt and black pepper to taste, if desired.
Notes
- 400°F is the sweet spot for crisp ridges and a tender interior; if your air fryer runs hot, try 390°F.
- Do not overcrowd—cook in a single layer to prevent steaming and sogginess.
- Shake the basket halfway through to avoid uneven browning or sticking.
- No added oil is needed; cook straight from frozen.
- For reheating leftovers, air fry at 350°F for about 4 minutes, shaking once.
