These sweet potato fries get a coating of cinnamon and sugar for a sweet and savory treat. The sugar caramelizes in the air fryer, creating crispy edges. Get the detailed recipe below.

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch sticks
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • pinch salt

  1. 01Soak, drain, dry, cornstarch, same as base recipe.
  2. 02Toss with coconut oil, sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. 03Ready for the air fryer.
  4. 04Serve with the marshmallow dip.
The sugar caramelizes during cooking and creates sticky, crispy edges. Watch these more carefully than the savory version because sugar burns faster than oil. Shake more frequently in the last few minutes. The marshmallow fluff dip sounds ridiculous but it's essentially deconstructed sweet potato casserole and people lose their minds over it.

Meal Prep

Stores 3 days. Reheat at 400°F (200°C) for 3-4 minutes. They soften in the fridge, so the high temp blast is needed to re-crisp.
