Crispy, sweet and savory these air fryer sweet potato cubes make a great side dish, wholesome snack or topping for rice bowls, salads or tacos!

Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 ½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon each smoked paprika, dried thyme, garlic powder, onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon seasoning blend like 21 seasoning salute, green goddess or Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon each kosher salt and black pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees.

  2. 2

    Refer to blog post on how to slice sweet potatoes into uniform cubes. Add sweet potato pieces to a large bowl and add the olive oil and all of the seasonings. Use your hands to toss the sweet potatoes until each piece has a coating of olive oil and seasoning.

  3. 3

    Add the sweet potatoes to the basket of an air fryer in a single layer. If you have a small air fryer you make need to work in two batches so you don’t crown the basket.

  4. 4

    Air fry for 11-14 minutes. Give the basket a good shake at the 6-7 minute mark. Because all air fryers are a little different, check your potatoes at 11 minutes and air-fry another 1-2 minutes, if needed. (mine needed the full 14 minutes)

  5. 5

    Taste and season with another crack of salt and pepper, if needed. Serve with harissa aioli (pictured), roasted garlic aioli, chimichurri mayo, or your favorite dipping sauce for potatoes.

  6. 6

    Oven instructions: prepare and season the sweet potato chunks per the recipe, you may want to add another half tablespoon of oil. Spread the potatoes on a lined baking sheet in a single layer. Roast at 425 degrees for 22 minutes. Increase the oven temp to broil and cook for another 3 minutes until crispy. Enjoy!
