Ingredients
  

For the Sweet Potatoes
  • 4 medium Sweet potatoes choose firm, vibrant-colored ones for the best flavor and texture.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil enhances the sweetness and helps achieve that crispy exterior.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt a pinch brings out the natural sweetness of the sweet potatoes.
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika or cinnamon either adds a delightful warmth, depending on your flavor preference.
For Toppings (optional)
  • Fresh herbs (like parsley or cilantro) add a pop of freshness to balance the sweetness.
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt provides a creamy contrast and richness to your dish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by thoroughly washing and peeling your sweet potatoes. Cut them into even cubes, about 1-inch in size, so they cook evenly and get that delightful crispy texture.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any favorite spices like paprika or cinnamon. Ensure every piece is coated for maximum flavor!
  3. Set your air fryer to 400°F and let it preheat for about 5 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Place the seasoned sweet potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  2. After 15 minutes, check the sweet potatoes; they should be fork-tender and beautifully caramelized on the outside. If not quite there, give them an additional 2-5 minutes as needed.
Serving
  1. Optional: Serve with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness!
