Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). While it warms up, wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into evenly sized fries, about 1/4 inch thick. Toss the fries in a large bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
  2. Place the seasoned sweet potato fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  3. Mix the cooked shredded chicken with BBQ sauce in a medium saucepan over medium heat until heated through, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  4. Transfer the sweet potato fries to a serving platter and pile the hot BBQ chicken on top, followed by shredded cheddar cheese. Allow the cheese to melt a little from the heat.
  5. In a small mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, light mayo, ranch seasoning, and a splash of water if needed. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  6. Drizzle the ranch mixture generously over the assembled Loaded BBQ Chicken Sweet Potato Fries. Garnish with chopped green onions or parsley.
