  • Place the basket in the air fryer and set the temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Cook until the wedges are lightly browned and tender, about 20 to 25 minutes, tossing halfway through cooking the cooking time.

Notes

Storage & Reheating
  • Room Temperature: Serve right away and let the wedges sit out for up to about an hour while everyone snacks.
  • Refrigerator: Cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days. Spread them in a shallow layer so they won’t get soggy.
  • Reheat: Place the wedges in a single layer in the air-fryer basket and heat at 350°F until hot and crisp again. This works well if you make them earlier in the day and reheat right before dinner.
