Air Fryer Sweet Potato Cubes
The Air Fryer Sweet Potato Cubes are perfectly roasted and so delicious! They are so easy to make and a healthy side dish to any meal or perfect on their own with a dip!
Air Fryer Sweet Potato Cubes
If you like sweet potatoes like I do, you’ll like these air fried sweet potato cubes. They get caramelized on the outside and soft, and fluffy on the inside. It’s an easy dish which comes together in less than 15 minutes.
All you need is a few pantry staples like oil and a few spices to cook this recipe. Sweet potatoes are naturally sweet and the spices balance it out. You can adjust the level of spiciness according to what you like. When I’m busy and don’t have much time for the oven or stove, this is one side dish I can always rely on.
Unlike Air Fryer Baked Sweet Potatoes and Hasselback Sweet Potatoes these sweet potato cubes are best served as snacks with a dip just like Air Fryer Sweet Potato Wedges. But you won’t be at fault if you serve them as a side dish too.

Recipe Tips
- Use a chopper – a chopper makes it easier to cube the sweet potatoes.
- Preheat the Air fryer – to make sweet potatoes brown faster.
- Single layer – place them in a single layer to make them crispy.
- Cook sweet potatoes in batches – If you’re doubling the recipe, or have a small air fryer cook in batches so as not to overcrowd the Air fryer basket.
- Serve immediately – you need to serve this immediately or else the sweet potatoes will get soft and will lose it’s crisp. But it will be delicious!
Serving Suggestions
Serve roasted sweet potatoes with any chicken or meat dish like Air fryer Chicken Legs, Chicken Breast or Steak Bites.
I love to dip them in my spicy mayonnaise or garlic aioli.
They make a great addition to salads or burrito bowls.
