I love roasted vegetables, and especially sweet potatoes. Imagine my surprise to find out how fast and delicious they are when prepared in an air fryer. Every air fryer capacity and performance is different, so you may need to adjust the time or temperature. These sweet potatoes are easily adapted to any style of seasoning you like--plain and simple, or sweet and spicy. Add as much or as little of the suggested seasonings, or try out your own seasoning combo!
Ingredients
- 1 pound sweet potatoes , peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter , melted
- 0.5 teaspoons salt , or to taste

Tikka Chicken Jalapeno Poppers
This crowd pleaser and appetizer is a fusion meal combining elements of Indian cooking and Tex-Mex. You get the flavor profile of the tikka chicken with that of the jalapeno popper, which in turn forms a unique taste experience. This recipe yields enough for an appetizer for a backyard BBQ/tailgate gathering or as a main course in itself. In this recipe it calls for the poppers to be baked, but it is perfectly fine to be made on the BBQ pit as well.
Supremely Spicy Hummus
I love this spicy hummus dip with pita bread. If you like things really spicy, add an extra teaspoon of cayenne pepper or a halved, seeded hot red pepper at the beginning.
