Ingredients
Sweet Potato Cubes
- 1 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Topping
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for even cooking and crisping.
- Toss Sweet Potatoes: In a mixing bowl, combine the peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat each cube evenly with the seasoning and oil.
- Air Fry: Place the seasoned sweet potato cubes in the air fryer basket in an even layer. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even cooking and browning.
- Add Parmesan: Once cooked and crispy, remove the sweet potatoes from the air fryer. While still hot, immediately toss them with the grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt slightly and adhere to the cubes.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation.
- You can substitute Parmesan with nutritional yeast for a vegan option.
- Adjust the garlic powder and salt according to your taste preference.
- Serve immediately for the best texture, but leftovers can be reheated in the air fryer.
