Microwave (the secret step to epic sweet potatoes): In a microwave safe bowl add sweet potato cubes and 1/4 cup water. Cook for 2.5 minutes then stir then cook for another 2.5 minutes until fork tender. Note: if you don't want to microwave, you can boil them until fork tender, remove from water and follow the same steps.

Add seasoning and stir: Add oil, kosher salt, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and pepper. If there's a little water still in the bowl leftover from cooking, no worries! It actually almost helps the spices and oil coat the potatoes even better. Stir everything together roughly with a fork for a minute or two. The fork will help stir forcefully so that knicks are added to the potatoes and a light potato coating will go onto all the other sweet potato cubes resulting in the best sweet potatoes ever.

Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Add the seasoned sweet potato cubes to the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for about 10 minutes, shaking the basket 1-2 times to ensure crispness and even cooking.
