Ingredients

Sweet Potatoes

  • 1 pound Sweet Potatoes

Seasonings & Oil

  • 1 tablespoon Avocado Oil (or olive oil)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1/3 teaspoon Salt (pink Himalayan salt recommended, adjust to taste)
  • 1/8 teaspoon Black Pepper (freshly cracked, adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into 1/2 inch pieces, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.
  2. Season Sweet Potatoes: Transfer the cubed sweet potatoes to a bowl, add avocado oil and seasonings (garlic powder, salt, black pepper), then toss well to coat each piece thoroughly.
  3. Preheat Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 400°F and allow it to preheat fully before cooking for optimal crispiness.
  4. Air Fry Sweet Potatoes: Place the seasoned sweet potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer to avoid overcrowding; cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway at about 6 minutes to ensure even cooking and browning.
  5. Alternative Oven Method: If not using the air fryer, preheat the oven to 425°F. Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes evenly on a large sheet pan without overlapping, then roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping every 10-15 minutes to promote even crispness.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary.
  • You can substitute avocado oil with olive oil if preferred.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to your taste preferences.
  • Freshly crushed black pepper adds more flavor than pre-ground.
  • Oven roasting requires more time but can accommodate larger quantities.
