Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled then cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon light olive oil
  • 1 heaped tsp dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • teaspoon freshly ground sea salt + more for serving
  • teaspoon freshly ground black pepper + more for serving

Instructions

  • Peel the sweet potatoes then cut them into one-inch cubes.
  • Add the oil, dried oregano, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper to a large mixing bowl and mix well.
    Add the sweet potato cubes to the bowl and toss well ensuring that all the cubes are covered in the oil and herbs.
  • Tip half the sweet potatoes into the air fryer basket. Make sure they are in an even layer on the air fryer grate.
    Cook for 10 minutes at 200°C / 400°F. Halfway through cooking give the basket a shake then return the basket to the air fryer.
    To check that the potatoes are cooked use a sharp knife to pierce a couple of cubes. The knife should go through the potato easily.
    Repeat for the remaining sweet potatoes.

Notes

  • Cook Time - cook time will vary depending on the size of the cubes. Larger cubes will take longer, and smaller cubes will be cooked in less time. If you're not sure check the sweet potato cubes after 8 minutes.
  • Air Fryer - I use a basket-style Ninja Max air fryer with a 4 L capacity.
  • Nutritional Information - all nutritional information shared is an estimate based on third-party calculations. If calorie count and/or nutritional values are important to you, we recommend putting the ingredients through whichever online nutritional calculator you prefer. Calories can vary depending on which brands were usedEach recipe and nutritional value will vary depending on the brands you use, measuring methods and portion sizes per household.
  • Weights and measurements - For US readers, I use Cuisipro measuring cups and spoons, and a Pyrex measuring jug for liquids. These are the industry standard. Cup/spoon volumes can differ from brand to brand, for accuracy, I recommend weighing all ingredients if possible for the best results.
