Recipe Notes :

Chef’s Tip: For extra crispy fries, soak the cut sweet potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before drying them thoroughly and tossing with oil. Variation: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a subtle kick or toss with fresh rosemary after cooking for an herbaceous flavor. Storage: Store leftover fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or oven for best results.
