Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (about 1 inch pieces)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into uniform 1-inch cubes.
- Place the cubes in a bowl and toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika until evenly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) for 5 minutes.
- Place the seasoned sweet potato cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary for crispiness.
- Air fry for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket vigorously every 5 minutes to promote even cooking.
- Check for doneness: the cubes should be tender when pierced with a fork and slightly browned on the edges.
- Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispy results, you can soak the cut sweet potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes, then dry them completely before tossing with oil.
- If you prefer a savory flavor, add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese after cooking.
- For a sweet coating, toss the cooked cubes with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of brown sugar immediately after removing them from the air fryer.
