Make sweet potatoes crispy in your air fryer to use as a flavorful filling for quick vegetarian tacos.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 small corn or flour tortillas
  • Optional Toppings: 1/2 cup black beans (rinsed), 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, lime wedges, avocado slices, plain Greek yogurt or vegan sour cream

Instructions

  1. Place the diced sweet potatoes in a medium bowl. Drizzle with olive oil.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss until evenly coated.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (195°C).
  4. Place the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary for maximum crispiness.
  5. Air fry for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time, until the potatoes are tender inside and crispy on the edges.
  6. While the potatoes cook, warm the tortillas according to package directions (you can warm them directly on a dry skillet or briefly in the microwave).
  7. Assemble the tacos: Place a portion of the crispy sweet potatoes onto each warm tortilla. Add optional black beans, cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, and your preferred sauce or topping. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, toss the potatoes with 1 teaspoon of cornstarch along with the oil and spices before air frying.
  • If you prefer a softer texture, reduce the cooking time by 2-3 minutes.
  • If using frozen sweet potatoes, increase the cooking time by about 5 minutes.
