Ingredients
  

For the Sweet Potatoes
  • 2 large sweet potatoes about 1.5 lbs, choose firm, unblemished potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika for extra flavor
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt adjust based on dietary preferences
For Serving
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze for drizzling
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper adjust based on spice preference

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prep the Sweet Potatoes: Start by peeling and cubing your sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Aim for uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
  2. Season Generously: In a mixing bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and your favorite spices. A pinch of cinnamon adds a delightful twist!
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400?F and let it preheat for about 5 minutes.
  4. Air Fry the Sweet Potatoes: Carefully place the seasoned sweet potatoes in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are in a single layer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking halfway through until they're tender and golden brown.
  5. Check for Doneness: Use a fork to poke a piece; they should be soft inside but slightly crisp on the outside. If needed, add an extra minute or two.
