Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes
  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground sage or 1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage
  • 1 teaspoon thyme dried
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes, dry them well. Cube the sweet potatoes.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
  • Add the potatoes into a zip lock bag or a large bowl.
  • Pour in the oil and mix around really well trying to fully coat the potatoes.
  • Add sage, thyme, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika to oiled sweet potatoes, mix well.
  • Pour potatoes into the preheated air fryer basket.
  • Cook sweet potatoes for 10-12 minutes. Shake basket half way through cooking time. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Single layer. Make sure to keep the sweet potato pieces in a single layer or they won't crisp up at all.
  • Similar size pieces. Make sure to try to keep the sweet potato chunks as uniform as possible so that they cook evenly.
  • Eat immediately. You want to enjoy these hot and right out of the air fryer because they start to get soft as they sit.
