Air Fryer Sweet Potato Cubes
Air fryer sweet potato cubes make a quick and simple side dish you can easily make sweet or savory. Serve alongside chicken or pork chops with a green veggie or salad on the side.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 small sweet potatoes about 6-7 oz each, peeled and cut into 1" cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 380 F for 5 minutes.
- Add the cubed sweet potato, olive oil, salt, and pepper to a small bowl. Combine.
- Cook the sweet potato chunks for about 15 minutes in total until they can be easily pierced with a fork, flipping them over halfway through cooking.
- Sprinkle with more salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
Notes
To cut the small sweet potatoes, first cut them lengthwise and then cut them in half lengthwise again so that you have 4 long slices. Then cut each of those slices into 1" sections.
Optional seasonings you can add to the sweet potatoes are cumin, rub, garlic salt, or a pinch of cayenne for a spicy kick. To add a touch of sweetness you can brush on honey or maple syrup with 2 minutes left to go in the cooking time.
This same method will also work for Russet potato cubes.
Cooking times can vary in air fryers due to the watts of your particular unit. Please use the cooking time as an estimate and keep a close eye on the air fryer sweet potato chunks the first time you go to make them so they don't overcook.
