Cut the sweet potato into even cubes and brush on the honey near the end so the glaze caramelizes without burning.

Steps

How to make it

Prep 8 min · Cook 18 min

Peel sweet potato; cut into about 2 cm cubes and pat dry.
Toss with olive oil (1 tsp) and a pinch of salt; rest 2 minutes.
Preheat air fryer to 180°C for 3 minutes. Spread in one layer.
Air-fry at 180°C for 10 minutes, shaking or flipping once.
Brush honey (1 tbsp) evenly over cubes; return to basket.
Air-fry at 200°C for 6–8 minutes until caramelized and a skewer pierces easily; rest 1 minute before serving.

Tips & storage

Make it easier

To cut sugar, use half the honey or a sugar substitute.
Pat ingredients dry and arrange them in a single layer with room for airflow so they brown evenly.

Best fresh; refrigerate up to 2 days; reheat at 160°C for 4 minutes.

FAQ

Can I use potato?

Yes. Soak the cubes in cold water to remove excess starch, dry well, then add 2–3 minutes to the air-fry time.

How should I adjust the air-frying time for different thicknesses?

Start with the stated time and check the thickest piece. Add 2–3 minutes at a time rather than extending the cook in one large jump.
