It's sweet potato season! Time to buy all the sweet potatoes and air fry them.

I love making sweet potatoes in the air fryer because it's just so much quicker than the oven. Only takes 15 minutes to cook.

In this recipe, I cube them up and cook them quickly. I typically leave the skins on, but you can always peel your sweet potatoes if you prefer.

And you can customize the sweet potatoes in so many ways with seasonings and spices! The perfect quick and easy delicious side dish.

This recipe is so easy to customize! You can swap out the dried thyme for oregano, Italian seasoning, herbs de Provence, or another herb.

Recipe tips

• All air fryers cook differently. You may need to adjust cooking times based on your air fryer and the size you cut the sweet potatoes.
• Sweet potatoes should be soft when pierced with a fork. If sweet potatoes are still hard inside, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are soft on the inside.
• While this recipe can be doubled, make sure the sweet potatoes are in a single layer to correctly cook.
