Ingredients
- 1 pound sweet potatoes (Red Garnet recommended) Sweet potato, raw
- 1 tablespoon oil (olive oil recommended) Vegetable oil (soybean)
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (or harissa spice blend; counted as paprika) Paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder Garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon salt (or to taste) Salt, table
- to taste Freshly cracked black pepper , to taste (optional) Black pepper, ground
Instructions
- Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch rounds, then cut each round into 1/2-inch cubes. Keep the cubes similar in size so they cook evenly.
- Transfer the sweet potato cubes to a bowl. Add the oil, harissa spice blend, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, then toss until evenly coated.
- Preheat the air fryer according to the manufacturer's instructions. Arrange the sweet potatoes in a single layer, cooking in batches if necessary.
- Air fry at 400°F for 10 minutes, shaking once halfway through. Begin checking at 8 minutes because air fryer cooking times vary.
- Serve as a snack or add to wraps, tacos, salads, or bowls.
Notes
The sweet potatoes may take 8–12 minutes depending on the air fryer and cube size. Later batches may cook faster in an already-hot air fryer. Other seasoning options include cumin, coriander, curry powder, paprika, berbere spice, or cinnamon.
