Oh yes — air fryer sweet potatoes are a game-changer: crispy outside, tender inside, and way faster than roasting in the oven. 🍠✨
Here’s how to do it perfectly.
🍠 Air Fryer Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients
-
2 medium sweet potatoes
-
1–2 tbsp olive oil
-
½ tsp salt
-
¼ tsp black pepper
-
Optional: cinnamon, smoked paprika, or garlic powder
Instructions
-
Prep the sweet potatoes
-
Wash and peel (optional) the sweet potatoes.
-
Cut into 1-inch cubes or wedges for faster, crispier cooking.
-
-
Season
-
Toss the pieces in olive oil, salt, pepper, and any optional spices.
-
-
Air fry
-
Preheat air fryer to 400°F / 200°C if your model requires preheating.
-
Arrange sweet potatoes in a single layer (don’t overcrowd).
-
Cook 15–20 minutes, shaking or flipping halfway through.
-
-
Check doneness
-
Sweet potatoes should be golden brown on the outside and tender inside.
-
Cook a few extra minutes if needed for crispier edges.
-
-
Serve
-
Serve as a side with dips, drizzle honey, or sprinkle fresh herbs for extra flavor.
-
⭐ Tips for Success
-
Cut evenly for uniform cooking.
-
Shake basket halfway to prevent sticking and ensure even crisping.
-
For extra crispiness, soak cubes in water 10–15 min before drying and air frying.
I can also give you a loaded sweet potato version with brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon that’s basically dessert-level in the air fryer.
