I love roasted vegetables, and especially sweet potatoes. Imagine my surprise to find out how fast and delicious they are when prepared in an air fryer. Every air fryer capacity and performance is different, so you may need to adjust the time or temperature. These sweet potatoes are easily adapted to any style of seasoning you like--plain and simple, or sweet and spicy. Add as much or as little of the suggested seasonings, or try out your own seasoning combo!

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

  • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste

  • 1 dash cayenne pepper

  • ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger

  • ½ teaspoon white sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) as directed by air fryer manufacturer.

  2. Place sweet potato chunks in a mixing bowl. Drizzle melted butter over sweet potatoes and stir to coat. Add salt, cayenne pepper, ginger, and sugar or any combination of these spices; stir to combine. Place sweet potatoes in the air fryer in a single layer.

  3. Air-fry for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring or shaking sweet potatoes halfway through the air frying time. Serve warm.

Cook’s Note

If you have a small-capacity air fryer, you may need to cook in batches. Add additional time if more browning or doneness is desired.
