Crispy, lightly spiced air-fried sweet potato wedges — a healthy, easy, Indian-style snack or side ready in under 25 minutes.
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Wash sweet potatoes thoroughly and scrub to remove dirt. Pat dry and keep the skin on for extra fibre.
- Cut each sweet potato into thick wedges — aim for similar size so they cook evenly.
- In a large bowl, drizzle olive oil over wedges. Add turmeric, chilli powder, ground black pepper and salt. Toss well to coat every wedge evenly with oil and spices.
- Preheat the air fryer to 200 °C (≈ 400 °F). Place the seasoned wedges in a single layer in the basket. Don’t overcrowd — cook in batches if needed.
- Air-fry for 15 minutes, turning the wedges halfway through so they cook evenly and get crisp edges.
- Check wedges: they should be crispy outside and soft inside when pierced with a fork. If needed, air-fry 2–3 minutes more.
- Serve hot with a dip (like green chutney or plain yogurt) or enjoy as a healthy snack or side.
Notes
If you like more Indian flavour, you can sprinkle a pinch of chaat masala or crushed coriander leaves after air-frying. For best texture, serve immediately — reheated wedges may lose some crispiness.
