Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 medium lemon
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato cubes with extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, ground cumin, paprika, and garlic powder. Toss well to evenly coat the sweet potatoes.
Place the seasoned sweet potato cubes in the air fryer basket, making sure they are in a single layer for optimum crispiness. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches.
Cook the sweet potatoes in the air fryer for 18-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
While the sweet potatoes are cooking, finely chop the fresh parsley and cut the lemon into wedges.
Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving dish.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the sweet potatoes and serve with lemon wedges on the side. Squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the sweet potatoes right before eating for a refreshing and tangy finish.
