Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 large large sweet potatoes Choose fresh, firm sweet potatoes for best flavor and texture.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Coats the bites for a crispy finish.
  • 1 teaspoon paprika Adds a hint of smokiness.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • optional fresh herbs for garnish Optional for decoration and flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then slice them into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato pieces with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated.
Cooking
  1. Arrange the sweet potato bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding for optimal crispness.
  2. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even browning. Look for the edges to be crispy and golden brown.
  3. Remove from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. Feel free to garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Ensure that sweet potato pieces are uniform in size for even cooking. Experiment with different seasonings, like cayenne for heat or grated parmesan cheese for a cheesy flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can be reheated in the air fryer to regain crispiness.
