These crispy air fryer sweet potatoes are a quick and healthy snack, packed with flavor and nutrients. Perfect for busy days or meal prep, they’re easy to make and customizable to suit your taste.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes or thin wedges
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Optional: pinch of cayenne, cinnamon, or dried rosemary

Instructions

  1. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into ½-inch cubes or thin wedges. Try to make them uniform so they cook evenly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, add the sweet potatoes, olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
  3. Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3 minutes.
  4. Place the seasoned sweet potato pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding, as this will prevent them from crisping up properly. If needed, cook in batches.
  5. Air fry for 10 minutes, then use tongs or a spatula to flip the pieces. Cook for another 8-10 minutes, checking for crispiness.
  6. The sweet potatoes should be golden brown and crispy on the outside while soft on the inside. If they need more time, air fry for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  7. Remove the sweet potato pieces from the air fryer and serve immediately. Sprinkle extra salt or add your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

[‘Cut sweet potatoes evenly for consistent cooking.’, ‘Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket for better crispiness.’, ‘Shake the basket or flip the sweet potatoes halfway through cooking for even browning.’, ‘Experiment with different seasonings like cinnamon, nutmeg, chili powder, or brown sugar.’, ‘Start with less oil and add more if needed to avoid soggy sweet potatoes.’]
