Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) to ensure the cooking environment is hot and ready for perfectly crispy sweet potato cubes.
- Season the Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated with the seasonings.
- Arrange in the Basket: Place the seasoned sweet potato cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket to promote even cooking and optimal crispiness.
- Air Fry: Cook the sweet potatoes in the air fryer for 15–18 minutes. Shake the basket every 5 minutes to ensure all sides get crispy and the cubes cook evenly.
- Check for Doneness: Cook until the sweet potato cubes are crispy on the outside and fork-tender on the inside, adjusting time as needed based on your air fryer model.
- Serve: Serve immediately as a delicious side dish or use them for meal prep. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs for an added burst of flavor.
