Let's make the sweet potato fries:

1. Peel then cut the sweet potato horizontally as thick or thin as you’d like your sweet potato fries to be.

2. In a large bowl, mix the oil, and paprika until everything is well combined.

3. Toss in the cut sweet potatoes and mix around using your hands or a spoon until all of the sweet potatoes are well coated.

4. Air fry at 180°c for 10 minutes, then give them a good shake and increase the heat to max (mine is 240°c) for a further 4 minutes.
