We love making them in the air fryer because they come out perfectly crispy, are a healthy side dish and it doesn’t heat up my house in the summer.

Recipe Tips and Variations

The seasoning in this recipe can be swapped out for different types! Some of our favorites are garlic powder, onion powder and Italian seasoning.

Cook time will vary based on which air fryer you have. I like to do 10 minutes and then do 3-5 minutes (flipping each time) until cooked.

Sweet potatoes can also be cooked in an oven. To adapt this recipe for the oven, preheat an oven to 400 degrees and place sweet potatoes on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until sweet potatoes are browned.

Leftover sweet potatoes should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. I don’t recommend freezing leftovers.

Notes

Cooking time can vary based on the air fryer and the size of the potatoes. After the initial 10 minutes, I like to check every 3-5 minutes.
