Crispy air fryer sweet potato cubes seasoned with paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper, offering a delicious and healthy side dish that’s quick to prepare and perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2–3 medium sweet potatoes (about 3.5 cups peeled and cubed)

Seasoning and Oil

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (or olive oil cooking spray)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sweet potatoes: Wash and dry the sweet potatoes. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin. Cut the potatoes into cylinders and then into even 1/2–3/4 inch cubes.
  2. Season: Place the cubed sweet potatoes in a medium mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil. In a small bowl, mix paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the potatoes and toss well to coat everything evenly.
  3. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F. If it has no preheat option, run it empty for 2-3 minutes to warm up the basket.
  4. Air fry the sweet potatoes: Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the sweet potatoes in an even single layer in the basket. Shake to distribute them evenly. Cook for 14-17 minutes, shaking or flipping halfway through. For small air fryers, cook in batches.
  5. Serve: After cooking, turn off the air fryer and let the sweet potatoes rest inside for 3-5 minutes to crisp up further. Serve warm and enjoy this flavorful, crispy side dish.

Notes

  • Use evenly sized cubes for uniform cooking and crispiness.
  • Adjust seasoning to your taste preference or add other spices like cumin or chili powder for variation.
  • If cooking in batches, keep cooked cubes warm in a low oven to serve all at once.
  • Olive oil spray can reduce oil usage but ensure to coat the cubes evenly.
  • Sweet potatoes are best eaten fresh but can be refrigerated and reheated for up to 2 days.
