Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or avocado oil)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Start by washing and peeling your sweet potatoes. Use a sharp knife to cut them into uniform 1/2-inch cubes. Keeping the size consistent is the secret to ensuring every piece cooks at the same rate.
- Place the cubed sweet potatoes into a medium mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle on the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Toss everything together until every cube is thoroughly coated in oil and spices.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) if your model requires preheating. Place the seasoned sweet potato cubes into the air fryer basket. Try to spread them out in a single layer as much as possible to allow for maximum airflow.
- Cook the sweet potatoes at 400°F for 12 to 15 minutes. About halfway through the cooking time, remove the basket and give it a good shake. This ensures all sides get crispy. Continue cooking until the edges are golden brown and the insides are tender when pierced with a fork.
