Ingredients

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and black pepper to taste

Optional: fresh parsley or thyme for garnish

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes.
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd; work in batches if needed.
Air fry for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Check for doneness: the cubes should be crispy on the outside and tender inside.
