Ingredients:
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil or cooking spray
- Seasonings of your choice (such as salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, or cinnamon)
Instructions:
- Wash and peel the sweet potatoes if desired. You can also leave the skin on for added texture and nutrition.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into your preferred shape, like fries, wedges, or cubes. Ensure the pieces are relatively uniform in size for even cooking.
- Place the sweet potato pieces in a bowl and drizzle them with olive oil or use a cooking spray to lightly coat them. Toss the sweet potatoes to make sure they are evenly coated.
- Season the sweet potatoes with your preferred seasonings. Salt and pepper work well for a savory flavor, while a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar is great for a sweeter twist.
- Preheat your air fryer to around 380-400°F (190-200°C).
- Place the sweet potato pieces in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches if your air fryer is small.
- Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking or flipping the sweet potatoes halfway through to ensure even cooking. The cooking time can vary depending on the size and thickness of your sweet potato pieces and the specific temperature settings of your air fryer. They should be tender on the inside and have a crispy, golden exterior when done.
- Once they are cooked to your liking, remove the sweet potatoes from the air fryer and serve immediately. You can garnish them with additional seasonings or your favorite dipping sauce.
