Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Peel the sweet potatoes and dice them into uniform 1/2-inch (1.3cm) cubes. Lay the cubes on a paper towel and pat them completely dry to remove surface moisture.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the dried cubes with olive oil until lightly glistening.
  3. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the potatoes and toss until a thin, powdery film coats each piece.
  4. Fold in the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until the cubes are evenly coated.
  5. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C). Place the cubes in the basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  6. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket vigorously every 5 minutes to redistribute the cubes, until the edges are browned and firm.
