There is something so satisfying about the contrast of a golden, crispy exterior and a soft, sweet interior. These sweet potatoes are a staple in my house because they taste just like they have been roasted for an hour, but they are ready in half the time.

My biggest tip for success is to cut your potatoes into uniform cubes. This helps them cook at the exact same rate so every bite turns out perfectly tender and delicious without any guesswork.

Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into consistent one inch cubes.

  2. 2

    Place the potato cubes into a large bowl and drizzle with the olive oil.

  3. 3

    Add the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl, then toss everything well until the potatoes are evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  5. 5

    Add the seasoned potatoes to the air fryer basket in a single layer.

  6. 6

    Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they are golden and tender when poked with a fork.

💡 Tips

Serve these warm with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh parsley. If you have leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days and reheat them in the air fryer to restore their crispiness.
