Air Fryer Sweet Potato Cubes
Description
This recipe involves peeling and cutting sweet potatoes into half-inch cubes, then tossing them with olive oil and a spice blend including salt, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, paprika, and black pepper. The seasoned cubes are placed in the air fryer basket with some overlap allowed but mostly in a single layer for optimal cooking.
The sweet potato cubes air fry at 400°F, first for 10 minutes, then shaken in the basket and sprayed lightly with oil before cooking another 5 minutes. This technique helps achieve a crispy exterior with a soft, tender inside. The seasoning mix enhances the natural sweetness and adds savory, herbaceous, and lightly smoky notes.
This preparation suits those seeking an easy, oil-light version of roasted sweet potatoes without using an oven. The air fryer method saves time and yields nicely textured cubes, making them an adaptable side dish or snack.
If doubling the recipe, cook the sweet potatoes in batches to maintain crispness and even cooking.
Ingredients
- 1 lb sweet potato peeled and cut in ½ inch cubes (approximately 2 small potatoes)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp basil dried
- ½ tsp paprika
- ¼ to ½ tsp black pepper ground
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Toss the peeled and diced sweet potatoes with the olive oil, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, paprika, and ground pepper.

Notes
- For larger quantities, cook sweet potato cubes in batches to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
