Instructions
Rinse and cut into ¾-inch cubes (you can peel or leave skins on for this recipe), being sure they are all about the same size so they cook evenly. Dry on paper towels and gently roll them around or pat dry to remove water.
In a large mixingbowl toss with olive oil so they are fully coated. Then add brown sugar and toss with cinnamon & nutmeg. *see notes for a savory option
Place the sweet potatoes into the air fryer basket in a single layer (work in batches if needed) and air fry at 400ºF for 8 to 10 minutes then shake the basket and air fry for at least another 5 to 10 minutes or until the desired color/doneness is achieved.
Serve with fresh herbs and your favorite sauce. Enjoy!
