Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1/2" cubes, then place them in a large bowl.
2 lbs. sweet potatoes
Combine the olive oil, honey, chili powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Pour the mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss well to coat.
2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, 1.5 tablespoons honey, 2 teaspoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 3/4 teaspoon sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Place the sweet potato cubes in the air fryer basket and cook at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until tender, tossing about every 5 minutes. If at any point the sweet potatoes become too dark before they're done, lower the heat to 375 or so and continue cooking. Remove from heat and serve immediately. Enjoy!
