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!

- 1 pound sweet potatoes , peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter , melted
- 0.5 teaspoons salt , or to taste
