Cinnamon Sugar Air Fryer Sweet Potato Bites

1.Prepare the sweet potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into uniform 1-inch cubes. For faster cooking and softer centers, briefly boil the cubes in water for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender but still firm. Drain them thoroughly and pat them completely dry with paper towels.

2.Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F).

3.In a medium bowl, toss the dried sweet potato cubes with the olive oil until lightly coated.

4.In a small separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, sea salt, and nutmeg (if using).

5.Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the oiled sweet potatoes and toss gently until every piece is evenly coated.

6.Arrange the sweet potato bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring not to overcrowd. Work in batches if necessary to maintain crispness.

7.Air fry for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket vigorously halfway through (around 7 minutes), until the edges are slightly caramelized and tender inside.

8.Serve immediately while hot, optionally alongside a small bowl of sweetened Greek yogurt for dipping.
