Equipment

  • 1 air fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp finely ground sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • fresh cracked black pepper to taste
  • chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Cube The Sweet Potato - Peel the sweet potato and cut it into 1/2-inch thick medallions. From there, cut each medallion into 1/2-inch cubes. They don't need to be perfect, but you want them all similarly sized so they cook evenly.
  • Toss With Oil & Seasonings - Toss the cubed sweet potato into a bowl with a healthy drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and a sprinkle of salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Air Fry - Pre-heat the air fryer for 3 minutes, then toss the cubed sweet potato in air fryer in a single layer. You may need to work in batches if you have a smaller air fryer or more sweet potato. Set the air fryer to 400 degrees F and cook for 16 minutes, tossing well halfway through.
  • Enjoy! - When they are done, take them out of the air fryer and sprinkle with fresh herbs like parsley. Serve as a side for dinner, or eat as a snack with a dipping sauce. Enjoy!
  • To Cook With Frozen Sweet Potato Cubes - Just open the bag and pour them into the air fryer basket. Set the temperature to 400 and cook for 5 minutes. At this time, they should be thawed out and you can toss them with the olive oil and spices. Return to the air fryer and cook for 10 more minutes, tossing halfway through.
