Can I leave the skins on my sweet potatoes?

I don't recommend it - the skins get weirdly tough and chewy in the air fryer. Peeling gives you that perfect tender interior texture we all love. (Though if you're feeling rebellious, give it a try and see what you think)

How do I prevent sticking without using too much oil?

Make sure your basket is nice and hot before adding the potatoes, and don't skip that preheating step. A light coating of oil on the cubes themselves is plenty - no need to grease the basket.

Can I make these ahead for meal prep?

Absolutely, They reheat beautifully in the air fryer. Just store them in the fridge and give them a quick 3-4 minute warm-up when you're ready to eat. They won't be quite as crispy as fresh, but still way better than most meal prep veggies. Meal prepping sides like this makes weeknight dinners a breeze .

Why are my sweet potato cubes soggy?

Two likely culprits: overcrowding the basket (they steam instead of crisp) or not shaking halfway through. Give them space and that mid-cook shake, and you'll get perfect crispiness every time.
