These sweet potato rounds are a great choice if you are looking for an easy-to-make side dish for dinner tonight. We make these sweet potatoes in the air fryer sometimes three times a week. You only need 3 ingredients: Sweet potatoes, olive oil, and seasoning (we use lemon pepper most of the time).
I have found that lemon is a natural and delicious pairing with sweet potatoes. I use lemon-infused olive oil often and always have a couple of different kinds in my pantry. That said, for this recipe, you can use a seasoning blend that features lemon, like basic lemon pepper, Flavor God Lemon Garlic Seasoning, or Kinder Garlic and Herb with Lemon.
Let me just say I go hard on the lemon.
