Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 sweet potatoes or 4 cups cubed
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric if you desired
- 2 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- salt to tatse
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into cubes. The size of the cubes doesn't matter too much as long as they are all about the same size so they cook evenly.1 sweet potatoes or 4 cups cubed
- Place them in water so that they won't brown and help to remove any excess starch.
- Drain the sweet potatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the sweet potatoes, oil, brown sugar, salt, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and black pepper.½ teaspoon black pepper, ¼ teaspoon red chili powder, ¼ teaspoon turmeric, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, salt to tatse, 2 tablespoon avocado oil
- Toss everything together until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated.
- Transfer the sweet potatoes to your air fryer basket, making sure they're not crowded. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until they're crispy and tender.
- make sure to shake them a few times during cooking.
- That sums up the easy air fryer side dish. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you want your sweet potatoes to be extra crispy, cook them for a few minutes longer. Just keep an eye on them so they don't burn.
- You can add your choice of seasonings to the sweet potatoes. I like to keep things simple with just salt, pepper, and red chili powder, but feel free to get creative! Garlic powder or cayenne pepper powder are a few options.
- If you don't have an air fryer, you can also bake these sweet potato cubes in the oven. Just preheat your oven to 400F and spread them apart on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, or until they're tender and crispy.
- You can choose any variety of sweet potatoes you like for this recipe. I prefer garnet sweet potatoes, but feel free to use whatever you have on hand.
- Store the cooked sweet potato cubes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. Reheat in the air fryer or oven before serving.
