Air Fryer Sweet Potato Cubes
This recipe for Air Fryer Sweet Potato Cubes is the perfect way to add a delicious, nutritious side dish to your next meal. Just chop, toss in a savory spice blend, and cook to golden brown perfection!
Ingredients
- 2 lbs sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
- Peel sweet potatoes. Chop sweet potatoes into ½-1 inch cubes and soak cubes in cold water for about 10 minutes.
- While sweet potatoes are soaking, add remaining ingredients to a large gallon-sized bag.
- After about 10 minutes of soaking, pat sweet potatoes dry with a paper towel. Add to the bag with the spices and toss well.
- Add sweet potatoes to an air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry at 425 degrees for 18-22 minutes, until sweet potatoes begin to brown at the corners.
Notes
- Arrange sweet potatoes in a single layer - work in batches if needed - and dry them well before seasoning for maximum crispiness.
- If using a tray-style air fryer, rotate trays halfway through cooking for even results.
- Don’t worry if the sweet potatoes turn black...that’s just caramelization from their natural sugars, and it adds great flavor and crunch!
