Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by thoroughly washing and peeling the sweet potatoes. If desired, you can leave the skin on for added texture.
Cut the sweet potatoes into evenly sized cubes, approximately 1-inch pieces. Uniform sizes help them cook evenly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to blend the spices well.
Add the sweet potato cubes into the bowl and toss them in the spiced oil mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
Place the seasoned sweet potato cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. It's important not to overcrowd the basket to ensure they cook evenly and turn crispy.
Air fry the sweet potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes. Shake the basket midway through cooking to promote even browning.
Check the doneness by piercing a sweet potato cube with a fork. It should be tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
Once cooked, transfer the sweet potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your low carb air fried sweet potatoes as a healthy snack or side dish!
