Thin rounds of sweet potato cook up tender inside with caramelized, lightly crisp edges, dusted generously with Cajun seasoning for a smoky, peppery bite. They make a quick side dish or snack, ready faster than roasting and with less oil than frying. Serve with a cool dipping sauce to balance the spice.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch coins
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Method

  1. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then slice crosswise into even 1/4-inch thick coins.

  2. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato coins with olive oil, Cajun seasoning, salt, and garlic powder until evenly coated.

  3. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F for 3 minutes.

  4. Arrange the sweet potato coins in a single layer in the air fryer basket, working in batches if needed to avoid overlap.

  5. Air fry at 380°F for 8 minutes, then shake the basket and flip the coins.

  6. Continue air frying for another 6 to 8 minutes, until the edges are crisp and the centers are tender when pierced with a fork.

  7. Transfer to a serving plate, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
