I particularly enjoy roasting sweet potatoes among other vegetables. Imagine my shock when I learned how quick and delectable they are to prepare in an air fryer. You might need to alter the duration or temperature because every air fryer has a different capacity and level of performance. These sweet potatoes may simply be seasoned in whatever way you choose, whether it’s pure and simple or sweet and sour. Try up your own seasoning combination or use as much or as little of the listed ingredients!

Ingredients
- 1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1 dash cayenne pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon white sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) as directed by air fryer manufacturer.
- Place sweet potato chunks in a mixing bowl. Drizzle melted butter over sweet potatoes and stir to coat. Add salt, cayenne pepper, ginger, and sugar or any combination of these spices; stir to combine. Place sweet potatoes in the air fryer in a single layer.
- Air-fry for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring or shaking sweet potatoes halfway through the air frying time. Serve warm.
- If you have a small-capacity air fryer, you may need to cook in batches. Add additional time if more browning or doneness is desired.
