Indulge in guilt-free dessert with our spiced sweet potato parfaits, featuring air-fried cubes and creamy coconut yogurt. Perfect for a healthy treat!
Ingredients
- • sweet potatoes: 2 medium, peeled and cubed
- • coconut oil: 1 tablespoon, melted
- • ground cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
- • ground nutmeg: 1/2 teaspoon
- • coconut yogurt: 2 cups
- • honey or maple syrup: 2 tablespoons (optional for added sweetness)
- • unsweetened shredded coconut: 1/4 cup
- • fresh mint leaves: for garnish
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 In a large bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with melted coconut oil, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly coated.
- 3 Place the seasoned sweet potato cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender.
- 4 While the sweet potatoes are cooking, prepare your parfait glasses by adding a layer of coconut yogurt at the bottom.
- 5 Once the sweet potatoes are done, let them cool slightly. Add a layer of the air-fried sweet potatoes over the yogurt, drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired, and sprinkle with shredded coconut.
- 6 Repeat the layers until the glasses are full, finishing with a dollop of coconut yogurt on top. Garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • These parfaits are a great standalone dessert, but you can elevate the experience by pairing them with a refreshing herbal tea or a light green tea. For added texture and flavor, consider topping with a sprinkle of granola or a handful of chopped nuts like almonds or pecans. For a touch of elegance, serve these parfaits in clear glasses to showcase the beautiful layers. It makes for an eye-catching presentation perfect for dinner parties or casual get-togethers.
Storage Tips
To store leftovers, keep the yogurt and sweet potatoes separate in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Assemble the parfaits just before serving to maintain the texture and freshness of each component. If the sweet potatoes become soft, a quick reheat in the air fryer for a couple of minutes can restore their crispness.
