Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs sweet potatoes
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp sea salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Wash the sweet potatoes and pat them bone-dry with a lint-free towel to ensure the oil can create a hydrophobic barrier for crisping.
  2. Cut the sweet potatoes into uniform 1.5 cm cubes. Maintain consistency to ensure even cooking.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with avocado oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper until every piece is thoroughly coated.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  5. Arrange the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for maximum airflow.
  6. Air fry for 10 minutes, shake the basket vigorously, and return for another 10 minutes. For extra shatter, cook for a final 5 minutes until the edges look slightly charred and the skins are crackling.
  7. Remove once the edges are scorched-brown and transfer to a wire cooling rack for 60 seconds to prevent the bottom side from steaming.
