Notes

This recipe has been tested in the following air fryer models (affiliate links): Philips HD9252/90 Air Fryer, Ninja DZ401 DualZone XL Air Fryer and Cosori Pro II. Cooking time can vary with your specific model.
 
Peel the sweet potatoes. The skin can be quite tough and not so nice to eat.
Make the wedges roughly the same size. This will help them cook evenly and in the same amount of time.
Want crispier sweet potatoes? Air fry in batches so you only have one layer at a time.
Want to use less oil? Mix the sweet potatoes with the spices only, and just brush the air fryer basket lightly with oil.
 
Storing: Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Freezing: You can freeze leftovers, but the consistency will not be the same. If you do freeze them do so in an airtight container and they will be good for at least 3 months.
Reheating in the air fryer: Air fry 3-5 minutes at 360°F (180°C), until heated through.
