Notes
Cutting the sweet potato into cubes: Peel each potato, and then slice it into ½-1" thick rounds. Cut each round into ½-1" thick strips lengthwise, and then widthwise. You now have ½-1" sweet potato cubes.
With cinnamon: Either add ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the original blend of spices, OR you can substitute everything but the salt for about 1 ½ teaspoons of cinnamon. I would also recommend swapping the avocado oil for melted butter.
Without oil: You will still need to use a light coating of cooking spray to coat the sweet potato cubes, but it would be significantly less than using poured oil. Spread the sweet potato cubes in an even layer and spray them lightly with oil. Toss them in a bowl with the seasonings and cook as directed. They may blacken in the air fryer.
