Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 1 pound sweet potato, peeled and cut into ½ – 1” cubes (1 large or 2 small)

Seasoning & Oil

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400ºF for at least 3 minutes, or according to your manufacturer’s instructions to ensure optimal cooking temperature.
  2. Prepare Seasoning Mix: In a medium-sized bowl, add the avocado oil and then whisk in all the seasonings including salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, and cumin until well combined.
  3. Coat Sweet Potatoes: Add the cubed sweet potatoes to the bowl with the seasoning oil mixture and toss thoroughly to evenly coat all the pieces.
  4. Air Fry the Cubes: Transfer the seasoned sweet potato cubes into the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking and browning.
  5. Serve: Once the sweet potatoes are tender and crispy on the outside, remove them from the air fryer and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or ketchup.

Notes

  • Cut sweet potatoes evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  • Optional spices like chili powder and cumin add extra flavor but can be omitted for a milder taste.
  • Shaking the air fryer basket halfway through cooking helps to crisp up the cubes on all sides.
  • Serve hot for the best texture and flavor.
