Crispy and sweet air fryer sweet potato cubes that are easy to prepare and perfect as a side, snack, or salad topper.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 900 g (2 lb) sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1.5–2 cm cubes
  • 30 ml (2 tbsp) olive oil
  • 1 tsp (6 g) kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp (1 g) black pepper
  • 1 tsp (2 g) smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp (1.5 g) garlic powder
  • Optional: 1 tbsp (15 ml) maple syrup or honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F) for 5 minutes.
  2. Cut the sweet potatoes into uniform 1.5–2 cm cubes.
  3. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Toss with the cubed sweet potatoes until coated.
  4. Place the cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer without crowding.
  5. Air fry at 200°C (400°F) for 10 minutes, then shake or flip and cook for an additional 8–10 minutes until golden brown.
  6. If using maple syrup or honey, toss with cubes after cooking and air fry for 2–3 more minutes to set.

Notes

Cut the sweet potatoes uniformly for even cooking. Avoid overcrowding for better crispiness. Can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
