Sweet Potatoes
- 1 pound sweet potato, peeled and cut into ½ – 1” cubes (1 large or 2 small)
Seasoning and Oil
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin (optional)
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400ºF for at least 3 minutes, or follow the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare Seasoning Mix: In a medium-sized bowl, add the avocado oil, salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, chili powder (if using), and cumin (if using). Whisk together until fully combined to create the seasoning blend.
- Toss Sweet Potatoes: Add the peeled and cubed sweet potatoes to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Toss thoroughly to coat every cube evenly with the oil and spices.
- Air Fry the Cubes: Transfer the coated sweet potato cubes into the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer for best results. Cook at 400ºF for 10-12 minutes, shaking or tossing the basket halfway through to ensure even crisping.
- Serve: Once the sweet potatoes are tender and golden on the edges, carefully remove them from the air fryer. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or ketchup for a tasty and healthy treat.
Notes
- Cut sweet potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking.
- Shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking to prevent sticking and promote crispiness.
- Adjust seasoning amounts and optional spices according to your taste preference.
- Serve with dips like ketchup, aioli, or a spicy yogurt sauce for added flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer to maintain crispness.
