Ingredients
Sweet Potatoes
- 1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into ½” cubes (about 2 medium sweet potatoes)
Seasonings and Oil
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for crisping the sweet potato cubes evenly.
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, add the peeled and cubed sweet potatoes. Drizzle the olive oil over them and sprinkle on ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together thoroughly so the cubes are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
- Air Fry the Sweet Potatoes: Place the seasoned sweet potato cubes in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. You may need to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket one to two times during cooking to promote even crispiness on all sides.
Notes
- For best results, cut the sweet potatoes into uniform ½-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
- Shake or toss the basket halfway through cooking to help the cubes crisp up evenly.
- Adjust seasoning amounts based on personal preference or dietary needs.
- Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket, which can cause soggy potatoes.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
