Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Crispy Air Fryer Sweet Potatoes
  1. Start by washing and peeling your large, firm sweet potatoes. Once cleaned, cut them into 1-inch cubes, ensuring they’re uniform for even cooking.
  2. In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Toss them together thoroughly until each piece is evenly coated and glistening.
  3. Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and preheat it for about 5 minutes.
  4. Once preheated, arrange the seasoned sweet potato cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding, and cook them for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  5. After the initial cooking time, carefully check the sweet potatoes. They should be tender when pierced with a fork and have a caramelized, golden exterior.
  6. Allow your crispy air fryer sweet potatoes to cool slightly in the air fryer basket. Serve warm, and consider partnering them with your favorite dips or alongside grilled meats.
