Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato (1 pound) peeled & cut in ½ inch cubes*
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil*
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon granulated garlic
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Garlic Lemon Aioli

- ½ teaspoon lemon zest
- ⅛ teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Review all recipe notes and instructions before beginning.

- In a large bowl, combine the potato cubes, olive oil, salt, rosemary, paprika, garlic, and pepper.
- Fill the air fryer basket with sweet potato cubes (All of them will probably not fit so I recommend cooking in batches.)
- Air fry at 390 degrees for 11-13 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- Serve the potatoes with the chilled aioli.
Notes
Sweet Potato: There are different varieties of sweet potatoes found at the grocery store. I prefer to use Garnet sweet potatoes. They have a deep red orange skin and are orange on the inside.
Olive Oil: Swap for avocado oil.
Refrigerator: Store leftover roasted sweet potatoes and lemon garlic aioli in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Freezer: Allow the sweet potato chunks to cool completely in the fridge for 6 hours or overnight. Place the cooled sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 4-6 hours. Transfer the frozen potatoes to a freezer bag or airtight container.
Cut the potatoes evenly. Uniform potato chunks cook more evenly. This is why I love to use a chopper.
