Easy Steps

Start by preheating your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). This preheating step helps ensure even cooking.

Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and cut them into uniform long strips lengthwise, about 1/2-inch.

In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings you like, such as paprika and garlic powder.

Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and place the seasoned sweet potato in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.

Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and cook the sweet potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket or tossing the sweet potatoes with tongs halfway through the cooking time. Once they are cooked, remove the sweet potatoes and serve immediately. You can garnish them with a sprinkle of extra salt or herbs if desired.
