Ingredients
How to make Sweet Potatoes in the Air Fryer?
Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into cubes.
Place the sweet potatoes in a bowl. Season them with oil, salt, garlic powder, pepper powder, and paprika. Stir and ensure the sweet potatoes are coated well.
Preheat the air fryer to 400F. Spray your air fryer basket with oil. Add the sweet potato cubes to the basket. Make sure you place them in a single layer and that the sweet potatoes don’t overlap each other.
Air fry at 400F for 15 minutes and make sure you shake them halfway.
Serve hot and Enjoy!

Chilli Powder, Cumin Powder, Coriander Powder, Cajun Spice, Onion Powder, and Curry Powder are a few of the other alternative options that can be used to season Sweet Potatoes.
Additionally, you can add thyme, dried parsley, red chilli flakes, and Italian seasoning.
If you want to make a sweet version of Air Fryer Sweet Potato Cubes, you can toss them in cinnamon powder along with brown sugar, maple syrup or honey.
Tips & Suggestions
Like I always say, each air fryer is different. Typically, the sweet potatoes are ready when they turn golden brown on the outside. Yours may take a few minutes extra too. So, have a check on the sweet potatoes and cook accordingly.
Make sure the sweet potato cubes are even in shape. This helps in a uniform cooking process.
Adjust seasonings according to your preference.
You can leave the sweet potato skin on or peel it off. If you plan to cook them with the skin on, make sure you wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly.
Make sure you cover the air fryer basket with a single layer of sweet potatoes. If the quantity is more, you can cook in batches.
Air Fryer Sweet Potatoes taste the best when served right after cooking. They may start losing the crispy texture as time goes ones.
