I love to cook potatoes in my air fryer, like roasted potatoes, baked potatoes, fries, Potato wedges, mashed potatoes, and potato Hasselback. And trust me, those were all delicious. After making all of them in my tiny-looking air fryer, I almost stopped using my oven.

Air Fryer Sweet Potatoes Cubes

You can make sweet potatoes with the air fryer in many ways, like the cubes in this recipe, sweet potato fries, or whole-baked sweet potatoes.

Air fryer sweet potato cubes are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional fried potato dishes. Sweet potatoes are a good source of fiber and vitamins and have a natural sweetness, meaning they don't need added sugar or other sweeteners.

When cooked in an air fryer, sweet potatoes become golden and crispy on the outside while remaining soft and fluffy on the inside. Air fryer sweet potato cubes make a great side dish or snack and can be easily tailored to your taste preferences.

Again, these are vegan, gluten-free, and easily customized oil-free too.

However you enjoy them, air fryer sweet potato cubes will surely please everyone.

Why Air Fryer?

An oven is suitable for these dishes, like roasted vegetables, but I strongly feel an air fryer is magical; it cooks the food similarly but saves time and energy. It cooks the food similarly, just like a convection oven. A high-speed fan mainly blows hot air into the air fryer. At the same time, it cooks food much faster because of its compact size.

Also, please note that not all air fryers cook the same food. So, the timing may vary a little depending on the brand and size of the air fryer we are using. The timing I mentioned here may or may not be the same for your air fryer. You can expect a plus or minus of 2 - 3 minutes, which is natural as per the functioning of air fryers.

How To Make Air Fryer Sweet Potato Cubes?

Instructions

Wash and clean the potatoes. Peel off the skin of the potatoes. You can also keep the skin on but clean them well.

Once clean, dice the sweet potatoes into approximately equal-sized (bite-sized cubes). Season the sweet potatoes with any seasonings of choice, or keep them simple with salt and black pepper only.

Pour 2 tbsp olive oil and mix them well, rubbing the spices and oil mix with the diced sweet potatoes so that they are nicely coated with the spices. You can also substitute the oil with vegetable broth to make this oil-free.

Preheat the air fryer to 400 F for 4 minutes. Now add all seasoned sweet potatoes to the air fryer basket. Cook the sweet potatoes at 400 F for 10 minutes till they are cooked perfectly. Toss them halfway at 5 minutes. Don't overcrowd the basket.

Serving ideas:-

This itself makes a great and healthy appetizer. Just serve it with your favorite dip, and you may ditch other appetizers, too.

This is a great side dish. You can add them to the tortillas to make tacos. It goes with any of the vegan Mexican meals here. I love adding these crispy cubes to my vegan burrito bowl, Spanish rice, or quinoa salad.
