Ingredients

4 servings

cooking spray 2 medium sweet potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch-thick fries 3 teaspoons avocado oil 1 ½ teaspoons chili-lime seasoning (such as Tajin®) Dipping Sauce: ¼ cup mayonnaise 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lime juice 4 lime wedges

Bright Citrus Chicken Dish

Instructions

Step 1

Start by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. While it warms up, give the fryer basket a light spray with cooking spray to keep the fries from sticking. Toss the sweet potato fries in a large bowl with a drizzle of avocado oil, then sprinkle on 1 1/2 teaspoons of chili-lime seasoning. Mix everything well so the fries are evenly coated. Place the fries in the air fryer basket—do it in batches if you need to so they cook evenly. Cook them for 8 to 9 minutes, shaking the basket and flipping the fries halfway through to get them crispy and nicely browned. While the fries are cooking, mix together some mayonnaise, lime juice, and a little chili-lime seasoning to make a zesty dipping sauce. Once the fries are done, serve them up with the sauce and a few lime wedges on the side for squeezing.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

These fries are a delicious and healthier way to enjoy a crispy snack. The air fryer makes them perfectly crunchy without the need for much oil. The Tajin® spice adds a tangy, slightly spicy kick that brightens the natural sweetness of the potatoes.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these fries as a tasty side with grilled chicken, fish, or a fresh salad. They also pair well with creamy dips like guacamole, sour cream, or a simple yogurt-based sauce to balance the spice.

Storage Tips

Store leftover fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the air fryer or oven to restore their crispiness rather than using a microwave, which can make them soggy.
