Description
A simple and delicious recipe for crispy sweet potatoes made in an air fryer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.5 pounds), peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato cubes, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Toss until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated.
- Place the sweet potato cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking, until the sweet potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Once done, remove from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, sprinkle some fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme before serving.
- Try adding a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the sweet potatoes before air frying for a sweet and savory twist.
