¼teaspooncayenne pepperor to taste
Squirt of sriracha or hot chili pasteoptional
Instructions
If your air fryer requires preheating, preheat the air fryer at 400 degrees for 5 minutes.
OPTIONAL: If you'd like to add spices, add frozen fries to a large bowl and spritz with a little bit of spray oil. Stir. Sprinkle on the black and/or cayenne pepper and mix. If you prefer plain fries, skip this step.
When the air fryer is ready, dump half the bag of frozen sweet potato fries (or however many will fit) into the air fryer basket, arranging the fries to lay flat leaving some room for the air to move around them.
Cook at 400 degrees for 8 minutes. Shake or flip the fries over and cook for another 7 minutes at the same temperature.
While they're cooking, make the Spicy Mustard sauce. In a small bowl, mix all of ingredients together. Whisk until well blended. Put aside for later.
Serve your seasoned fries along with the Spicy Mustard Sauce or dip of choice. Enjoy while hot.
Notes
Cooking Time - Because some air fryers are different, it might take you a little more or less than 15 minutes for the fries to be done. Check on the fries halfway to see how they’re doing. When golden brown and crispy, it’s time to take them out.
