Ingredients
Scale

- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Slice the sweet potatoes using a fry cutter for evenly shaped fries.

- Sprinkle the cornstarch throughout the sweet potatoes.
- Sprinkle in the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Place the fries in the air fryer basket and spray with olive oil. Do not overcrowd the basket.
