1. 1

   Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into strips about ½ cm thick. Transfer to a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil and toss thoroughly so all strips are evenly coated. Add smoked sweet paprika, herb mixture, ½ tsp salt and pepper, and mix again by hand, distributing the spices over the surface.

   Arrange the sweet potato strips in the air‑fryer basket in a single layer (in batches) and cook at 180 °C for 10–15 minutes, shaking the basket or stirring every 5 minutes to brown evenly. When they become lightly golden, return the remaining batches to the basket, shake again and cook for 1–2 minutes to finish.
