Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb. sweet potatoes, peeled if you like
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt, plus more for serving
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 2 tsp. olive oil
  • 1/4 c. mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp. honey

Directions

  1. 1

    Cut the sweet potatoes into planks about 1/2 inch thick and 4 to 5 inches long. If there is any moisture on the potatoes, pat them dry with a paper towel. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, mix together the salt, cumin, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Toss the sweet potatoes with the olive oil until well coated. Sprinkle the spice mixture all over, then toss well to coat evenly.

  4. 4

    Place half of the sweet potato fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket with a little bit of space between each fry. Cook at 380°F for 7 minutes. Toss the fries in the basket, then space them apart again. Return to the air fryer for 7 minutes more. Transfer the cooked fries to a plate. Repeat with the remaining half of the potatoes.

  5. 5

    For the creamy honey mustard: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, mustard, and honey until creamy and smooth. Set aside.

  6. 6

    Transfer all of the cooked fries from the plate to the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F until all of the fries are re-warmed and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes more. Season with more salt to taste. Serve with creamy honey mustard.
