Description

This quick and easy recipe transforms sweet potatoes into crispy, caramelized bites using an air fryer. Perfect for a healthy snack or side dish.

Ingredients

Scale

2 medium-sized sweet potatoes, scrubbed clean
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1/2 teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika

Instructions

Wash your sweet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Peel them if preferred, then slice into even wedges or rounds, about 1/4-inch thick.
In a mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
Place the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding. Work in batches if necessary.
Air fry the sweet potatoes for 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking. Add an additional 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness if desired.
Check for doneness; sweet potatoes should be golden brown and crispy on the outside. If needed, air fry for another 2 minutes.
Let the sweet potatoes cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or extra paprika if desired.

Notes

[‘Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure crispiness.’, ‘Cut sweet potatoes evenly to avoid uneven cooking.’, ‘Preheat the air fryer for optimal results.’, ‘Experiment with seasonings like cinnamon or cayenne for different flavor profiles.’]
