Description
Deliciously crispy air fryer sweet potatoes, perfectly seasoned and easy to make.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Start by peeling and cubing your sweet potatoes. I like to keep them around 1-inch cubes so they cook evenly and crisp up nicely in the air fryer.
- Toss them into a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with your seasonings.
- Give them a good toss so every cube is coated — this is what helps the edges caramelize.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F for about 3 minutes. Don’t overcrowd — if your air fryer is smaller, cook in batches.
- Air fry the sweet potatoes for 15–20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. You’ll know they’re done when the edges are golden brown and a fork slides easily into the centers.
- Once they’re done, transfer the sweet potatoes to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with extra salt if needed, or drizzle with a little maple syrup for a sweet-savory combo.
Notes
- Cooking time may vary based on the air fryer model and the size of the sweet potato cubes.
- Maple syrup can add a delightful sweetness if desired.
