Ingredients
  

For the Sweet Potato Fries:

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into thin strips

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: a pinch of cayenne pepper for heat

For the Garlic Aioli Dip:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Spicy Sriracha Ketchup:

1/2 cup ketchup

1 tablespoon Sriracha (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup

Optional: a squeeze of lime juice for brightness

Instructions
 

Prep the Sweet Potatoes: Start by peeling the sweet potatoes and cutting them into thin, uniform strips (aim for around 1/4 inch thick). This will ensure they cook evenly.

    Season the Fries: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato strips with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Ensure all fries are well coated.

      Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for about 5 minutes.

        Air Fry the Sweet Potato Fries: Place the seasoned sweet potato strips in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd them. You may need to do this in batches. Air fry for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking. The fries should be crispy and golden brown when done.

          Prepare the Dipping Sauces:

            - Garlic Aioli Dip: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.

              - Spicy Sriracha Ketchup: In another bowl, whisk together ketchup, Sriracha, honey (or maple syrup), and lime juice (if using). Adjust the heat level by adding more Sriracha based on your preference.

                Serve: Once the sweet potato fries are crispy, remove them from the air fryer, and let them cool slightly. Serve with both dipping sauces and enjoy!
