The Best Air Fryer Sweet Potatoes Recipe

If you love sweet potatoes as much as me, you are in for a treat with these crispy air fryer sweet potatoes! I love using the air fryer to make sweet potatoes, because it ensures that they get super crispy on the outside with a soft and fluffy center on the inside. The flavor profile of sweet potatoes is balanced perfectly with bold spices like garlic powder and paprika, so you have a delicious sweet and salty combination! These sweet potatoes are flavorful enough to be enjoyed on their own with some ketchup or your favorite dipping sauces. They go great with scrambled eggs in the morning, bowls, salads or as a side dish to your favorite protein.

Ingredients Needed

Sweet Potatoes: I used about 2 large sweet potatoes here. It is up to you if you want to peel them or not. If you don’t peel them, make sure you scrub them well to remove any dirt. Olive Oil: Or any cooking oil will work! Garlic Powder & Onion Powder: Garlic and onion powder both add a depth of flavor and make the roasted sweet potatoes more savory! Paprika: Paprika adds a hint of chili flavor without being too spicy! Salt & Pepper: To taste!

Don’t overcrowd the air fryer! If you need to, air fry these sweet potatoes in batches. If the air fryer is over crowded, they won’t get crispy! Serve them right away, because they will soften as they cool! Switch up the spices! For spicy roasted sweet potatoes, add a pinch of cayenne. Or, you can make them sweet by cooking them in cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar!
