Air Fryer

Ingredients

1 lb. sweet potatoes $1.74
1 Tbsp olive oil $0.22
1/2 tsp Tony Chachere's seasoning (or to taste)* $0.05

Instructions

Wash, peel, then dry the sweet potatoes. Cut the sweet potatoes into wedges.
Place the sweet potato wedges in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle seasoning over the top. Toss the sweet potatoes until they're evenly covered in oil and seasoning.
Preheat the air fryer to 400ºF. Once preheated, add the seasoned sweet potatoes and spread them as evenly as possible inside the basket. Cook the fries at five-minute intervals, shaking the basket to flip and stir the fries after each interval.
Continue cooking until the sweet potatoes are slightly blistered and browned on the edges, about 15-20 minutes total. Serve immediately.
