Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
Begin by thoroughly washing and peeling the sweet potatoes. Trim any rough ends away.
Cut the sweet potatoes into evenly-sized cubes, about 1 inch in size, to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried thyme.
Add the sweet potato cubes to the bowl, and toss them in the seasoning mixture until all pieces are evenly coated.
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 3 minutes.
Once preheated, place the seasoned sweet potato cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to allow proper air circulation.
Air fry the sweet potatoes for 12 minutes. After the first 12 minutes, open the fryer and gently shake the basket to move the potatoes around or use tongs to turn them.
Continue to air fry for an additional 10-13 minutes, checking and shaking the basket every 5 minutes to ensure even crisping. The sweet potatoes are ready when they are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the sweet potatoes from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving dish. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy these delicious low sodium air fried sweet potatoes as a side dish or a healthy snack!
