Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon (chopped, optional) fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by washing and peeling 2 large sweet potatoes. Cut them into evenly-sized cubes, around 1/2 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of paprika. Stir well to create the seasoning mixture.
Add the sweet potato cubes to the bowl and toss them in the seasoning mixture until they are evenly coated.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
Place the seasoned sweet potato cubes in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd them. If needed, cook in batches for best results.
Air fry the sweet potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even frying and crispiness on all sides.
The sweet potatoes should be golden and crispy on the outside while tender on the inside when done.
Once cooked, transfer the sweet potatoes to a serving dish and, if desired, garnish with 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley for a fresh pop of color and flavor.
Serve your Paleo Air Fried Sweet Potatoes hot as a side dish complementing your meal, or enjoy them as a healthy snack.
