Notes About Sweet Potato Bites in the Air Fryer

  • You can use a sugar substitute or no sweetener at all. The small amount of sugar included in this recipe really enhances the final flavor, but it’s not 100% necessary. You can use either a sugar substitute (just make sure it measures 1:1 for sugar, like this one) or no sweetener at all.
  • Unrefined coconut oil will make these a little sweeter. You can use refined or unrefined coconut oil, but unrefined coconut oil will add a touch of additional sweetness – and maybe a touch of coconut flavor if your tastebuds are extra sensitive. I personally prefer unrefined in this recipe!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 lbs sweet potatoes (cut into 1/2” cubes)
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
  • 2-3 tsp sugar
  • 1-2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • If your air fryer has a preheat option, set it to 400°F. Otherwise, turn on your air fryer to 400°F while preparing the sweet potatoes.
  • Mix coconut oil, sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  • Place sweet potato cubes in a medium bowl. Pour the coconut oil mixture over them and toss to coat thoroughly.
  • Arrange sweet potato cubes in a single layer in the air fryer (as best you can); avoid overcrowding the basket by working in batches if necessary.
  • Air fry for 12-14 minutes, tossing the sweet potatoes once, until they start crisping at the edges.
  • Once done, remove from the air fryer and serve.

Notes

Unrefined coconut oil will give the sweet potatoes a light coconut flavor. If you would prefer to avoid that, opt for refined coconut oil.
