A simple recipe for making crispy on the outside and soft on the inside sweet potato cubes using an air fryer.

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

  1. Place the diced sweet potatoes in a large bowl.
  2. Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
  3. Add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Toss again until the seasoning covers all the cubes.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (195°C) for 3 minutes.
  5. Place the seasoned sweet potato cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary.
  6. Air fry for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket vigorously every 5 minutes to promote even cooking and crisping.
  7. Check for doneness; the cubes should be tender when pierced with a fork and slightly browned.
  8. Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately as a side dish or add to salads or hashes.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can toss the cubes with 1 teaspoon of cornstarch along with the oil and spices before air frying.
  • If your cubes are sticking, lightly spray the basket with cooking spray before adding the potatoes.
  • Adjust cooking time based on the size of your cubes; smaller cubes cook faster.
