Air Fryer Sweet Potato Tots
This recipe brings together the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes and the crispiness you love, all without the excess oil. Plus, using an air fryer means you get that perfect texture while keeping it healthier!
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free alternative)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Start by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Boil the cubed sweet potatoes in a pot of salted water until they are tender, approximately 15-20 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. Add the flour, beaten egg, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.
- Using your hands, form small tot shapes from the mixture and place them on a plate or tray.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil. Place the sweet potato tots in the basket in a single layer. Be careful not to overcrowd them.
- Spray the tops of the tots lightly with olive oil as well. This will help achieve that golden-brown color.
- Air fry the sweet potato tots for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. They should be crispy and golden brown when done.
- Once cooked, remove the tots from the air fryer and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Enjoy your homemade sweet potato tots with your favorite dipping sauce!
