Pro Tips

  • Timing: Cooking sweet potatoes in an air fryer can be a guessing game, but with careful attention, you’ll get it just right. Since every air fryer cooks somewhat differently, it’s essential to watch your sweet potatoes as they cook up and remove them when they are fork-tender.
  • Shaking: for best results, ensure you shake your sweet potatoes frequently as they cook up. This way, they are evenly cooked.
  • Crowding: For best results, do not crowd your sweet potatoes. Leave plenty of room around the cubes. This will enable the hot air to circulate freely around the sweet potatoes, giving you crispy edges while keeping inside moist and delish!
