- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish and Serving:
- Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions
- Meticulously peel sweet potatoes using a vegetable peeler, crafting uniform fries approximately ¼ inch thick to guarantee maximum crispiness.
- Transfer sliced potatoes into a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly coating with olive oil and dispersing garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until each fry is evenly seasoned.
- Activate air fryer and calibrate temperature to 400°F, allowing 5 minutes for preheating to establish optimal cooking environment.
- Arrange seasoned fries in a single, uncrowded layer within the air fryer basket, ensuring sufficient spacing between pieces to promote uniform crisping.
- Initiate cooking process for 15-20 minutes, strategically interrupting midway to vigorously shake basket, promoting balanced golden-brown coloration and consistent texture.

Notes
- Slice sweet potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness in every bite.
- Pat potato strips completely dry with paper towels before seasoning to prevent soggy results and promote better air frying.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket, leaving space between fries allows hot air circulation for perfectly crisp exterior.
- Experiment with alternative seasonings like cajun spice, curry powder, or herb blends to create exciting flavor variations that match different meal profiles.
