    I am one of those people who always make too many fries. And for the longest time this meant throwing away and wasting food, or eating soggy fries the next day. And I don't want to do either!

    Enter, the air fryer. With the help of circulating air, you can turn sweet potato fries crispy again in no-time. Read on to find out just how!

    Why This is the Best Way to Reheat Sweet Potato Fries

    • Crispy delicious sweet potato fries that taste just like fresh
    • Less greasy than any other cooking method
    • Crispier than if you reheat them with other methods
    • Super easy and done in just 4-6 minutes + 5 minutes of preheating
    • A tiny bit of oil is all you need to add

    Expert Tips

    • Preheat your air fryer for the crispiest fries & the quickest cook
    • If you want to add extra seasoning, do so before cooking - right after the oil. This makes it stick better!
    • Don't fill your air fryer basket. You can have multiple layers, just make sure there's still some room left.
    • Mix the fries halfway for an even cook, especially if you're cooking in multiple layers
    • Reheat only as much as you will finish - I don't recommend reheating multiple times
    • Cook time will vary with your air fryer and how much you're making
