Ingredients
- 1 pound sweet potatoes about 2 large, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 + 1/8 teaspoon salt or to taste
- black pepper freshly cracked, to taste
Instructions
- Peel the sweet potatoes and cut each one into 1/2-inch rounds, then cut each round into 1/2-inch cubes. Keep the cubes the same size so they all cook evenly.
- Put the cubes in a bowl with the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Toss until every cube is well coated.
- Preheat the air fryer according to the manufacturer's directions. Arrange the cubes in a single layer in the basket with a little space between them; cook in batches if they don't all fit.
- Air fry at 400°F for 10 minutes, shaking the basket once halfway through. Start checking at 8 minutes: they are done when the edges are golden and a fork slides easily into the thickest cube. A second batch often cooks faster, in about 8 minutes.
- Serve right away, while the edges are crisp, as a side dish or in salads, rice bowls, wraps or tacos.
Notes
Timing depends on your air fryer and the size of the cubes; start checking at 8 minutes. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours and eat within 3 to 4 days or freeze 3 to 4 months; reheat in the air fryer to 165°F.
