Air Fryer Sweet Potato Cubes
Description
Air Fryer Sweet Potato Cubes feature peeled sweet potatoes cut into roughly 1-inch pieces and tossed with olive oil, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Cooking at 400°F in an air fryer crisps the exterior slightly while preserving a tender interior. Shaking the basket halfway through ensures even cooking. The included seasonings provide a savory, mildly smoky, and aromatic taste without overwhelming the natural sweetness of the potatoes.
This side dish pairs well with many main courses or can be enjoyed on its own as a warm, satisfying snack. The size of the cubes makes them convenient for quick bites or pairing with dips.
Leftover sweet potato cubes keep well refrigerated for up to five days. Reheat them either in the microwave briefly or return them to the air fryer at a lower temperature to regain crispness. Avoid substituting minced garlic for garlic powder to maintain an even seasoning distribution.
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potato peeled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F and lightly grease with avocado, olive oil, non-stick spray.
- Meanwhile, prepare your sweet potatoes by carefully peeling and cutting them into 1-inch bite-sized pieces. If you prefer to keep the skin on, you can.
- Add to a large mixing bowl with olive oil and seasonings. Mix until they are fully coated.
- Once the air fryer is heated, add sweet potato cubes in and cook for 10 - 12 minutes, until tender and slightly crispy. Remember to shake the basket halfway through.
- Remove from the air fryer and enjoy!
Notes
- Do not use minced garlic instead of garlic powder to keep the seasoning balanced.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Reheat leftovers in the microwave for 30 to 75 seconds or in the air fryer at 350°F for 2 to 4 minutes for best texture.
