Description

Learn how to make perfectly tender and flavorful sweet potatoes in your air fryer in no time!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes under running water. Pat them dry with a towel.
  3. Cut the sweet potatoes into cubes or wedges, depending on your preference.
  4. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato pieces with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
  5. Place the sweet potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
  6. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even frying.
  7. Check for doneness by piercing with a fork; they should be tender and slightly crispy on the outside.
  8. Once cooked, remove from the air fryer and serve warm.

Notes

  • Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your taste.
  • For a sweeter version, you can sprinkle cinnamon or drizzle with honey after cooking.
