I&#8217;ve been making them for years! They have a great <strong>crispy texture on the outside and are perfectly sweet and fluffy inside.<\/strong> And they come out even better when you make them in the air fryer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trader Joe&#8217;s sweet potato fries are also fantastic (and have minimal ingredients and no added sugar) but they require a special trip to that I don&#8217;t always have time to make. The day Trader Joe&#8217;s decides to offer grocery delivery will be a very happy day for me!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Either way, they&#8217;re the next best thing to cutting homemade fries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-70f3d7d2\"><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" height=\"1em\" width=\"1em\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M478.21 334.093L336 256l142.21-78.093c11.795-6.477 15.961-21.384 9.232-33.037l-19.48-33.741c-6.728-11.653-21.72-15.499-33.227-8.523L296 186.718l3.475-162.204C299.763 11.061 288.937 0 275.48 0h-38.96c-13.456 0-24.283 11.061-23.994 24.514L216 186.718 77.265 102.607c-11.506-6.976-26.499-3.13-33.227 8.523l-19.48 33.741c-6.728 11.653-2.562 26.56 9.233 33.037L176 256 33.79 334.093c-11.795 6.477-15.961 21.384-9.232 33.037l19.48 33.741c6.728 11.653 21.721 15.499 33.227 8.523L216 325.282l-3.475 162.204C212.237 500.939 223.064 512 236.52 512h38.961c13.456 0 24.283-11.061 23.995-24.514L296 325.282l138.735 84.111c11.506 6.976 26.499 3.13 33.227-8.523l19.48-33.741c6.728-11.653 2.563-26.559-9.232-33.036z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#0071a1\"><a>What you\u2019ll love about these air fryer sweet potato fries:<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Super Quick:<\/strong> From freezer to table in 15 minutes &#8211; no need to preheat your oven<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Extra Crispy:<\/strong> The air fryer makes these fries extra crispy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>So Easy:<\/strong> Pre-seasoned fries don&#8217;t require any extra effort.
