Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your air fryer or oven to 425°F (220°C). Allow at least 5-10 minutes for the appliance to reach temperature.
  2. Peel and cube your sweet potatoes, placing them in a pot of boiling water. Cook for about 20 minutes or until fork-tender.
  3. Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, gently smash each piece using a fork or your hands until they are about half an inch thick.
  4. Drizzle your smashed sweet potatoes with olive oil, honey or maple syrup, garlic powder, and salt. Toss or brush until evenly coated.
  5. Place the seasoned sweet potatoes in the preheated air fryer basket or on a baking sheet. Cook until crispy and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
  6. Mix yogurt with garlic powder and desired toppings in a bowl until well combined.
  7. Serve the crispy sweet potatoes warm alongside the garlic yogurt dip.
