As you know, I’ve been trying to health up my breakfast routine. This week I decided to batch cook some quinoa and make breakfast bowls with quinoa as the base.

Back to the Air Fryer Sweet Potatoes and why am I talking breakfast?
While I was batch cooking my quinoa, I was trying to think of some good options that would be filling for my quinoa breakfast bowls. Sweet potatoes immediately came to mind.
Here’s a sneak peek photo of a recipe to come where I used Air Fryer Sweet Potatoes as an ingredient!
Steps To make these Air Fryer Sweet Potatoes:
ONE: Dice the sweet potatoes into cubes. The easiest way to do this is to slice the sweet potato into long slices and then cut those slices into “fries” and then chop each “fry” shape into cubes. I like to go on the smaller side but just know if you make them bigger, you may need to add a few more minutes to your cook time.
TWO: Toss sweet potatoes with 1 tsp olive oil and spices.
THREE: Place in air fryer basket and cook at 400 F for about 10 minutes.
FOUR: Oh, wait, there isn’t a step four, that is it! Enjoy!

Really simple and very tasty. Thank you.
Perfect! Super easy, well seasoned, and perfectly cooked.
It is an awesome recipe. I like oily food. Can I add here a little bit more oil in this recipe?
Yes, of course. I was using as little oil as possible to save on calories but feel free to add a bit more
Do you know if this would work with butternut squash?
I haven’t tried it (YET) but I would imagine it would be about the same cooking time.
Love the idea of adding these sweet potatoes to my breakfast bowls, or for any time of the day! Might make them a bit spicy with cayenne or give them a sprinkle of cumin. Can’t wait to try this.
