Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs or 680 g)

Seasoning & Oil

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly under cool running water and peel off the skin to ensure a smooth texture.
  2. Cut into Cubes: Chop the peeled sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes, then transfer them to a large mixing bowl for seasoning.
  3. Season the Sweet Potatoes: Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potato cubes and sprinkle salt, black pepper, and paprika evenly. Toss everything together until all pieces are well coated with oil and spices.
  4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for about 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  5. Cook the Sweet Potatoes: Arrange the seasoned sweet potato cubes in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking or tossing the basket halfway through to promote even caramelization.
  6. Check for Doneness: After 15 minutes, check the sweet potatoes for tenderness; if they need more cooking, continue for an additional 2-3 minutes until they are soft and slightly caramelized.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the sweet potatoes cool for a couple of minutes before serving to enjoy their full flavor and perfect texture.

Notes

  • Try different spices like garlic powder or cayenne pepper to customize the flavor profile.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure the sweet potatoes cook evenly and become crispy.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days to maintain freshness.
