Instructions
- Step 1: Cut 2 medium sweet potatoes (1 pound, peeled) into 1/4-inch thick sticks, then rinse under cold water to remove excess starch.
- Step 2: Toss the sweet potato sticks with 1 tablespoon olive oil until evenly coated, then sprinkle 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper over them and mix gently.
- Step 3: Arrange the sticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they aren't overlapping or touching.
- Step 4: Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes, shaking the basket gently after 5 minutes, until edges are crisp and golden, and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
