Description
Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, these cubed air fryer sweet potatoes are quick, flavorful, and perfect as a healthy side dish.
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato, scrubbed and cleaned
- 2 teaspoons avocado oil (or avocado oil spray)
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prick the sweet potato all over with a fork. Place it on a microwave-safe plate and microwave for 5 minutes (4 minutes for a medium or small potato) until slightly tender but not fully cooked. Let it cool for 5 minutes, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
- Place the cubes in a mixing bowl and toss with avocado oil, or transfer directly to the air fryer basket and spray with avocado oil spray. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 8–10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and lightly browned on the edges. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Cut cubes evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket for best crisping results.
- Add spices like paprika, garlic powder, or cinnamon for extra flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the air fryer.
