Air fryer sweet potato chunks recipe (with oven directions!)
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato cut into 1" pieces
- 1 ½ teaspoon olive oil see note for oil-free
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice or lime juice
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt see note
- up to 1 teaspoon seasonings of choice see note
Instructions
- If you are baking, preheat the oven to 425° F.
- In a medium bowl, toss together the sweet potato chunks with the lime juice, oil and salt, making sure to coat the potato pieces well.
- In the air fryer: Air fry at 400° F for 15-20 minutes, stopping to shake the basket after 8 minutes.
- In the oven: Transfer the sweet potato pieces to a lined baking sheet, and spread them out into a single layer. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender and a little bit crispy.
Notes
If sweet potato peel isn't your thing, feel free to peel your sweet potatoes prior to air frying. I like the texture the peels bring to the table, but I also know that this is a divisive topic!
Feel free to mix up the oils for added flavor. Toasted sesame oil and melted coconut oil are both great substitutes for the olive oil.
For an oil-free option, use a tablespoon of maple syrup instead of a teaspoon and a half of oil.
You can omit the salt, if you want. If you do, I definitely recommend using one or more of the spices listed in the seasoning section below.
Optional seasoning ideas:
- cumin
- coriander
- cinnamon
- chili powder
- curry powder
- rosemary
- ground sage
