Frozen Sweet Potato Fries in the Air Fryer

These delicious frozen sweet potato fries are a little sweet and a little salty. They crisp to perfection in the air fryer, making them a perfect snack or side when you want something quick, easy, and healthy.

Why Frozen Sweet Potato Fries in the Air Fryer Are So Good

Because air fryers use air instead of oil to fry food, you save calories but still get that great deep-fried flavor and crunch.
Oven-baked fries can be soggy (or worse, burnt), especially if you’re reheating leftovers. Air fryer fries are perfectly crisp every time – plus you can cook them from frozen, no need to thaw!
Sweet potato fries specifically are best in the air fryer. Because of their lower starch content, it’s almost impossible to get the perfect fry texture when you cook sweet potatoes in the oven.
Air fryers generally cook faster than a conventional oven, and the clean up is usually easier, too!

Frozen Sweet Potato Fries Ingredients

Sweet Potatoes – This root veggie is a traditional Thanksgiving staple, but I love them all year long! When it comes to macros, they’re comparable to white potatoes, but they’re a much better source of antioxidants and vitamins A, B, C, and D.

Cinnamon – Everyone knows cinnamon is a little spicy and a little sweet – but did you know cinnamon is believed to have some wonderful health properties? It has essentially no protein or fat, but it does have small amounts of beta carotene and Vitamin A, which are both great for eye health!

How to Make Frozen Sweet Potato Fries in the Air Fryer

The full recipe is below, but here you’ll find all the steps for making this recipe perfectly the first and 100th time, along with useful tips and info!

This recipe honestly could not be any easier! Toss your frozen sweet potatoes in oil, then coat them evenly in salt and cinnamon. Pop them in the air fryer for 7 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit, flip them, and fry for another 7 minutes. If you like your fries a little crispier, add another 2-3 minutes in the air fryer.

Serve these hot with your favorite dipping sauce – they’re great with ketchup, honey mustard, spicy sriracha-mayo, or comeback sauce! If you’re Whole30, be sure your condiments are compliant!

Chef’s Tips

Bags of frozen sweet potato fries are super quick and easy, but I recommend making your own fries from scratch! Start with a sweet potato and cut it into fries by hand or with a french fry cutter. Plan ahead – you want all of your fries to be roughly the same size so that they cook consistently. Spread the unseasoned fries evenly on a parchment-paper-lined sheet pan and stick them in the freezer. Freeze them for a couple of hours or until they’re hard. Toss them in a baggie or airtight container and keep them in your freezer until you’re ready for them. They’ll keep like this for a few months!
Be sure to spread the fries in a flat layer in the air fryer basket, and don’t let them touch or overlap. If the air can’t flow around them easily, they won’t cook evenly!
If you have any leftovers, you can totally reheat them in the air fryer! A few minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit will make them nice and crispy again.

What Do We Mean By “Healthy”?

Our recipes focus on real ingredients and homemade elements. We try to avoid processed flour and sugar, like white flour or white sugar. Our recipes often swap less healthy options (like a commercial, deep-fried tostada) for an easy homemade version.

Our recipes are not necessarily low fat or low calorie, and we aren’t afraid of fat or carbs! Some of our recipes will be “skinny,” low carb, keto, paleo, dairy free, grain free, gluten free, Whole30, or vegan, and they will be labeled when they qualify for any of these diets. All our recipes are easy and family friendly!

Air Fryer Popcorn

Buttery popcorn made in the air fryer in minutes. Made without oil and no big pot to clean up, air fryer popcorn is a healthy snack made in under 15 minutes from start to finish.

What You’ll Need To Make This Recipe

Popcorn kernels – You can use kernels from a bag or buy a big jar of them!
Butter – For drizzling over after popping to mimic that delicious movie theater flavor.
Salt – For seasoning your healthy snack!

How To Make Popcorn in the Air Fryer

Line the air fryer basket bottom with a piece of foil. Pour in the kernels in single layer.

Turn on the air fryer and preheat to 400º F for 5 minutes before cooking.

Cook the popcorn until the popping stops. While it’s cooking, melt the butter in the microwave.

Let the air fryer basket sit in the air fryer for another minute or so after the cooking finishes (or pieces of popcorn might pop in your face).

Put the popped popcorn into a bowl and pour melted butter over. Add the salt and cover the bowl (we like using a big bowl with a lid). Toss the popcorn to coat it.

Top Tips For Making

This method for making popcorn is pretty finicky and will probably take some trial and error to get right with your specific air fryer (since they really vary by make and model). The problem is that air fryers are not CLOSED. The fan and vent are right above the cooking basket, and the popcorn shoots all sorts of little bits around. However, our method is the BEST we’ve tried (and we tried many!). It’s easier to pop on the stovetop, but this method can be great, too!
It can be hard to get all the kernels to pop at the same time. We like to take the popped corn out and put the unpopped kernels back in the air fryer. If you leave it until they ALL pop, the ones that popped early on will burn.
Make sure not to make a bowl out of your tinfoil. You just want a flat piece lining the bottom. If the sides are high, they will block air flow and keep the popcorn from cooking correctly!

Air Fryer Mushrooms

These air fryer mushrooms are savory, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious! Perfect as a side dish or a vegan main course on top of rice, they will become one of your favorite things to cook in the air fryer. They’re also keto, low carb, and gluten-free!

What You’ll Need To Make This Recipe

Mushrooms – You can use any type of mushroom you like or whatever is on sale! We used white button mushrooms, but you could use crimini, porcini, or baby bella.
Olive oil
Garlic powder
Soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce – If you’re vegan or vegetarian, be sure to use soy sauce as Worcestershire sauce contains anchovies.
Kosher salt
Black pepper
Lemon – Optional, but add a nice citrus burst of flavor.
Parsley

How To Make Air Fryer Mushrooms

Add the mushrooms to a bowl along with the oil, soy sauce or Worcestershire, and seasonings and toss to coat.

Place the mushrooms in air fryer and cook at 380º for about 10-12 minutes. Toss halfway through the cook time.

Squeeze a little lemon juice on top of your mushrooms, if you like, and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Top Tips For Making

If you’re using smaller mushrooms (like button or porcini), cut them in half. For larger mushrooms, either quarter them or cut into cubes (like with a portobello).
You can absolutely double or triple this recipe to feed a larger crowd! You can cook a large batch at a time, but shake the air fryer basket more than once while cooking to allow all the mushrooms to cook evenly.
To prepare your mushrooms to cook, cut a thin slice off the bottom of the stem. Use a damp paper towel to wipe off the dirt of each mushroom. You can also rinse the mushrooms and pat them very dry. If you soak them, they will absorb the water and become too moist!
