Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potatoes
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
Seasoning & Oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes completely and cut them into evenly sized cubes to ensure even cooking and crispy texture.
- Toss with Seasoning: Place the cubed sweet potatoes in a mixing bowl and add olive oil, salt, paprika, and black pepper. Toss well to coat all pieces evenly.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes to ensure the sweet potatoes cook properly and crisp up.
- Arrange in Basket: Place the seasoned sweet potato cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to promote even air circulation and crispiness.
- Cook and Shake: Cook the sweet potatoes for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the time to turn the cubes and cook them evenly on all sides.
- Check and Serve: Once the sweet potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges, remove them from the air fryer immediately to prevent overcooking. Serve hot for best taste and texture.
Notes
- Cut sweet potatoes into uniform pieces for even cooking.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to achieve optimal crispiness.
- Shaking halfway through helps cook the sweet potatoes uniformly.
- Adjust seasoning to your taste preferences; try adding garlic powder for extra flavor.
- Use fresh sweet potatoes for best results; older potatoes may be less crispy.
