- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:
- Place the diced sweet potatoes in a large bowl.
- Drizzle with olive oil and toss with paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the Sweet Potato Bites:
- Arrange the sweet potato pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding for even cooking.
- Cook for 12–15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the bites are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
- Serve:
- Transfer the sweet potato bites to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired, and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes:
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to restore crispiness.
- Variations: Add a sprinkle of cinnamon and brown sugar for a sweeter version, or toss with Parmesan cheese and Italian herbs for a savory twist.
- Serving Suggestion: Pair with a creamy dipping sauce like garlic aioli, ranch, or a yogurt-based dip for added flavor.
