What Makes This Recipe So Great
These fries are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The tangy, spicy flavor of Tajin® adds a delicious twist. Plus, using an air fryer makes them healthier and quick to prepare.
Directions
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. While it’s warming up, give the fryer basket a quick spray with some cooking spray to keep the fries from sticking. In a big bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with a drizzle of avocado oil until they’re nicely coated. Then sprinkle on about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the chili-lime seasoning and mix everything together so the fries get evenly seasoned. Place the fries in the air fryer basket—if you have a lot, it’s best to cook them in batches so they crisp up well. Cook the fries for around 8 to 9 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping them halfway through to make sure they brown evenly. While the fries are cooking, whisk together some mayonnaise, lime juice, and a pinch of chili-lime seasoning in a small bowl to make a tasty dipping sauce. Serve the crispy fries hot with the dipping sauce and some lime wedges on the side for squeezing over.
