Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place the diced sweet potatoes in a large bowl.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
- In a small bowl, mix the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the oiled potatoes and toss again until all pieces are coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (195°C) for 3 minutes.
- Place the seasoned sweet potato cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
- Air fry for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket vigorously every 5 minutes, until the cubes are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can lightly spray the basket with cooking spray before adding the potatoes.
- If you prefer a sweeter flavor, substitute 1/2 teaspoon of the paprika with 1/2 teaspoon of brown sugar.
- Do not overcrowd the basket; this prevents proper air circulation and results in steamed, not crispy, potatoes.
