How people cook with it
Sweet potato fries are a versatile side dish that pairs well with many meals.

To cook, preheat your oven or air fryer according to package directions. Spread the frozen sweet potato fries in a single layer on a baking sheet or in the air fryer basket. Bake or air fry until they are golden brown and crispy, turning them halfway through the cooking time for even browning. Avoid overcrowding the cooking surface to ensure a crispier result. They are best served immediately after cooking.
