Ingredients

  • 1 pound Sweet Potatoes peeled and diced into ¾-1 inch cubes
  • tablespoon Olive Oil
  • ¾ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ¾ teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • ½ teaspoon Paprika sweet/hot or smoked
  • ¼ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Salt or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon Freshly Ground Pepper or to taste
  • Sea Salt for sprinkling while serving
  • Fresh Parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the air fryer at 400°F.
  • Place peeled and cubed sweet potatoes, olive oil, garlic powder, ground cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt and freshly ground pepper in a large bowl.
  • Toss to coat the sweet potato cubes well with the seasonings.
  • Place the seasoned sweet potato cubes in the air fryer basket and spread in single layer.
  • Air fry for 14-15 minutes shaking the basket once in between after about 7 minutes of cooking.
  • Transfer to the serving plate, sprinkle little sea salt and garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Choose firm potatoes without blemishes, bruises and/or discoloration.
  • A super sharp knife is best for getting through the potatoes quickly and safely.
  • Take care to cut the sweet potato cubes in equal size for even cooking.
  • Preheating the air fryer is a must! Adding the cubes to the hot fryer makes them crispy delicious.
  • Do not overcrowd the fryer basket. Over crowding will create too much moisture and result in soft potatoes.
  • Halfway through cooking, give the basket a good shake to turn the sweet potatoes.
  • Leftover air fried sweet potato cubes will keep in the fridge for up-to 4 days in an airtight container.
