Ingredients

  • 500 g sweet potatoes, sliced into 2cm cubes/skin left on (£1.19/2)=(£0.60)

Cupboard Essentials

  • 2 tbsp canola/ rapeseed oil
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp Cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper
Metric - US Standard

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F/200° C for 5 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the sweet potatoes cubes with smoked paprika, Cayenne pepper, a generous pinch of salt/pepper, garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Stir to coat, then add the oil and stir again.
  • Pop the cubes into the preheated air fryer basket and shake to spread them out. Cook at 380°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until crispy and tender on the inside.
  • Serve with flakey salt and a crack of black pepper.

Notes

  • Space out potatoes to avoid overlapping for even cooking.
  • Ensure even crispiness by shaking the basket during cooking.
  • Add oil to prevent dryness and ensure desirable texture by adding oil.
  • For the crispiest exterior, allow air to circulate without foil.
