    How to store and reheat

    Since frozen sweet potato fries are already precooked and what you are basically doing is reheating from frozen, I highly recommend you cook the quantity you need at a time to avoid having leftovers that need further reheating.

    However if you do have leftovers, let it cook down completely, then transfer to a clean and dry airtight container and in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    Reheating

    To keep it crispy, reheat in the air fryer at 350°F / 180°C for up to 5 mins or until heated through.

    FAQs

    Can you freeze raw sweet potatoes?

    Yes you can. When you don’t have much time on your hands to make air fryer sweet potato fries from scratch, Frozen sweet potato fries are a time saver and short cut to meal planning.

    If you can’t find frozen sweet potato fries in your grocery store, you can cut fresh sweet potato into fries ahead of time. Freeze them in a single on a baking sheet.When they are completely frozen, transfer into a freezer bag and freeze for up to a month.

    With this you shave off cutting time and it will help get dinner on the table faster. However the end product may not be as crispy as the store bought one since those are pre fried before packing but it will still be tasty.
