Let's take a moment to talk about the nutritional value of sweet potatoes. According to Healthline, one cup of sweet potato provides you with 769% of your daily recommended value of Vitamin A, 65% of your Vitamin C, and 6.6 grams of fiber. Sweet potatoes also help support gut health, healthy vision, and may enhance brain function. Kind of makes me want to add more sweet potatoes to my diet.
The great thing about this recipe is that it is so versatile. It's can be a great sidekick to any entree from hamburgers to rotisserie chicken. Personally, I would recommend pairing these sweet potato cubes with our Perfect Flaky Chicken Pot Pie.
AIR FRIED SWEET POTATO CUBES INGREDIENTS:
A crowd-pleasing side dish that only requires three ingredients?!? Mind-blown.💥
- 1 medium Sweet Potato, peeled and cubed: Make sure your sweet potato is fresh and does not have any eyes!
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil: Any brand of olive oil will get the job done, but to make this recipe even more nutritious try Sky Organics Organic First Greek Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Remember: Little choices, like swapping out one olive oil for another, can make a big difference in our long-term health!
- Salt to taste: Keep in mind that a little salt goes a long way. Be conscious of your sodium intake.
- Air Fryer: If you don't already have one, you will, of course, need an air fryer. I recommend this Power 6-Quart AirFryer Oven because it offers many more capabilities than the ordinary air fryer.
HOW TO MAKE AIR FRIED SWEET POTATO CUBES:
1. Prep the sweet potato. Peel the sweet potato and chop it into bite-sized cubes. Make sure to use a cutting board when chopping the sweet potatoes, so as to not damage your countertop.
2. Season. Place the sweet potato cubes in a medium-sized bowl. Then, add the olive oil and salt. Toss the ingredients together. Make sure that the cubes are evenly covered with olive oil and salt.
3. Fry. Place the sweet potato cubes evenly into the air fryer. Set your air fryer to 400°F. Let them cook for 10 minutes.
4. Enjoy. Remove the sweet potato cubes from the air fryer. Let them cool slightly before eating. Then, enjoy your delicious sweet potato cubes!
