Preheat your air fryer to 380°F if your model requires preheating.
Slice the sweet potatoes into even ¼-inch strips. Try to keep sizes uniform so they cook evenly.
Toss the fries in a large bowl with 3 tbsp avocado oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat each strip well.
Arrange the fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Don’t crowd them; work in batches if necessary.
Air fry at 380°F for 10–13 minutes, flipping halfway through. Watch the last few minutes so they reach your desired crispness.
Transfer fries to a platter, sprinkle coarse salt and chopped parsley, and serve with dips.
Pro tip: a light sprinkle of cornstarch before oil helps achieve extra crunch. Try 1 tsp per batch.
Make the herbed dips
Avocado Herbed Dip (super fast)
Mash 1 avocado with the back of a fork.
Stir in lime juice, chopped coriander, salt, and pepper.
Adjust seasoning to taste. Serve chilled.
Cashew Cheese Dip (blend & go)
Soak cashews in hot water for 30 minutes if your blender needs help.
Blend soaked cashews, plant milk, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, and garlic powder until ultra-smooth.
Thin with more plant milk if needed. Chill before serving for the best texture.
Both dips stay vegan and pair perfectly with the sweet-savory fries.
