Notes
For proper roasting spread sweet potato wedges into a single layer in the basket. If necessary, divide and roast them in batches rather than overfilling the basket.
It is essential to cut the sweet potatoes into equal sizes for uniform roasting.
Do not forget to remove the basket and shake it well halfway through the roasting to ensure that all sides are well roasted.
The size of the sweet potato wedges determines how long you need to roast them. The smaller the size the quicker they roast, big chunky wedges take a long time to roast.
The second batch and subsequent batches after frying the first batch are likely to cook faster as the air fryer is already hot. So ensure to keep an eye on the sweet potato slices.
Pat dry raw sweet potato thick wedges with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture before seasoning.
Cooking time may vary depending on the model and size of the air fryer basket.
Keep chopped wedges in a large bowl of cold water until ready to bake. Ensure to pat them dry before seasoning.
To prep it as a part of meal planning, premake seasoning by mixing salt, pepper and oregano in a small bowl. Transfer the seasoning into a jar with a lid and store it until ready to use.
