Ingredients

Main

• 1 bag (20 oz) Alexia Sweet Potato Fries (frozen)
• Olive oil spray or avocado oil spray
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Creamy Garlic Dip

• ½ cup mayonnaise (or vegan mayonnaise)
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 garlic clove, minced (or ½ teaspoon garlic powder)
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Optional: add a pinch of cayenne or a dash of hot sauce for a spicy dip.

How to make Alexia Sweet Potato Fries in the air fryer

Step-by-step instructions

1. Preheat

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). A short preheat of about 2–3 minutes helps the basket reach the right temperature so the fries start crisping immediately.

2. Arrange the fries

Spread the frozen Alexia sweet potato fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding — cook in batches when necessary to ensure even airflow and consistent crisping.

3. Lightly oil and season

Spray the fries lightly with olive or avocado oil. Sprinkle with sea salt and smoked paprika if you like a smoky note.

4. Air fry

Cook at 400°F for 8–10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. If you prefer extra crispiness, add 1–2 more minutes but watch closely to avoid burning.

5. Make the garlic dip

While the fries cook, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, and black pepper until smooth.

6. Serve

Serve the fries hot with the creamy garlic dip. Garnish with chopped parsley or chives for color and freshness.

Pro tips for the crispiest fries

• Preheat the air fryer to jump-start crisping.
• Shake or flip the basket halfway through cooking to promote even browning.
• Do not overcrowd the basket — cook in batches if needed.
• Use a light oil spray to help seasoning adhere and to encourage surface crispness.
• Experiment with flavor variations: try Cajun seasoning, parmesan, or a cinnamon-sugar finish for a sweet twist.

Serving suggestions

Alexia sweet potato fries pair well with burgers (beef or veggie), grilled chicken, wings, or BBQ. They also make a great base for loaded fries — top with cheese, bacon bits, scallions, or a drizzle of ranch. For a lighter meal, serve alongside a fresh green salad.
