Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions
Preparation & Basket Layout
Preheat your air fryer for 3 minutes at 380°F (195°C). Place roasted sweet potato cubes in a single layer with at least 0.25 inches of space between pieces so cyclonic air can envelop the surface.
Convective Cooking & Shake Checkpoint
Set timer for 14 - 16 Mins. At minute 7, slide out the basket and gently turn each piece to expose the cooler under-surface to direct overhead coil radiation.
Check Doneness & Rest
Verify internal temperature reaches Custard-soft core with an instant-read probe. Remove immediately from the hot pan so residual base heat does not overcook the bottom.
