Follow these steps to make sweet potato cubes that are crispy on the outside and soft inside using your air fryer with minimal oil.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into uniform cubes, about 3/4 inch in size. Uniform size helps them cook evenly.
  2. Place the sweet potato cubes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil.
  3. Add the salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder to the bowl. Toss everything together until the cubes are lightly coated.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (195°C) for 5 minutes.
  5. Place the seasoned cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary for best crispiness.
  6. Air fry for 15 minutes.
  7. Open the basket and shake the cubes well to turn them.
  8. Continue to air fry for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until the cubes are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
  9. Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can lightly spray the basket with cooking spray before adding the potatoes to prevent sticking.
  • Do not soak the potatoes; this recipe works best with dry cubes.
  • If you prefer a sweeter flavor, substitute the smoked paprika with cinnamon.
