# Step-by-Step Directions:

In a mixing bowl, combine sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cinnamon (if using). Toss thoroughly to coat every piece evenly.

Place sweet potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even crisping. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
