Sweet potatoes and cinnamon seem like a match made in heaven. Add the sweetness of maple syrup, and voila! A delicious side dish that feels like dessert.

While you can make these cinnamon sweet potatoes in the oven (scroll below for instructions), I love using my air fryer. It's quick and easy, and doesn't require heating up my whole oven for sweet potatoes!

Ingredients

  • Sweet potatoes
  • Maple syrup
  • Cinnamon
  • Nutmeg
  • Olive oil
  • Salt

Can I make these with brown sugar?

Yes! To make these brown sugar cinnamon sweet potatoes instead, just swap out the maple syrup for the brown sugar.

Oven directions

Season the sweet potatoes with cinnamon, maple syrup, and other ingredients as directed in the recipe.

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Add the sweet potatoes in an even layer. Cook for 30-35 minutes, tossing every 10 minutes.

Sweet potatoes should be tender and cooked all the way through.

How to reheat

To reheat the cinnamon sweet potatoes, you have several options!

First, you can reheat right in your air fryer! Just put the potatoes back in the air fryer for 6-7 minutes until hot.

You can also reheat in a skillet. Add a touch of oil to a hot skillet, and then reheat, stirring occasionally until hot and cooked through.

And finally, you can reheat in the oven. Just place in the oven at 350 F and reheat for 10-15 minutes until hot.

How to serve

These air fryer sweet potatoes are perfect as a side dish to so many meals!
