Store the leftover crispy sweet potato fries in the fridge. To reheat, I recommend toasting them in the toaster oven or air fryer to get them crispy again.
Tips & Tricks
- Don't make the sweet potato fries too thick or they will not come out crispy.
- Spread the sweet potato fries out evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer so that they don't touch. This will help the sweet potato fries cook more evenly and get nice and crispy.
