Once again, I’m behind. I was late to the Instant Pot party (although that turned out pretty well), and here I was dragging my feet on the air fryer, hmming and hawing about whether I should add yet another appliance to my collection.
Of course I was aware of the buzz, everywhere you turn food bloggers and friends are all “Air Fryers are the best!” and “Air Fryers are a necessity!” and “I love my Air Fryer!“, right? Still, I waited, until the kind folks at Magic Chef contacted me and asked if I’d like to review their air fryer. My answer was an enthusiastic dance around my kitchen, and here we are: I’m now the proud owner of Magic Chef Digital XL Air Fryer which holds a whopping 5.6 quarts of food!

Are Air Fryers Easy to Use?
I’m still playing with my newest toy, and loving it so far. Crispy sweet potato bites in 12 minutes with no soaking required? YES PLEASE! It’s simple to use (I spent like 4 minutes looking at the manual before jumping right in) and cleanup is a snap. I rinsed the basket and the drawer and gave them a quick scrub with my soft dish brush. I let them air dry, then popped them back in. Very easy to use and clean!
Are Air Fryers Good for Vegans?
I’ve found that the air fryer is perfect for healthy, vegan cooking and my favorite recipe so far is Jerk Seasoned Sweet Potato Tacos with Deconstructed Guacamole! They’re easy to make. You simply chop the sweet potato, toss it in the seasonings, and air fry it (no oil!) for 12 minutes. While the air fryer is working its magic, you can pull together the taco toppings and you have a quick and healthy meal. If you’re really pressed for time you could even go with pre-made guacamole, but I think my version is best.
Look at how crispy and golden those sweet potatoes are! I’m going to be playing with my new air fryer a lot, so get ready for lots of new yummy recipes!

Jerk Seasoned Sweet Potato Tacos with Deconstructed Guacamole
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato about 1.25 lbs
- 1 tbsp jerk seasoning
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 10oz can Ro-Tel tomatoes and chilies drained
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1 avocado
- 1 tsp lime juice
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 8 fresh sweet basil leaves chiffonade
- 8 6″ corn tortillas warmed
- additional lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Chop the sweet potato into ~1″ cubes and toss with the jerk seasoning and salt. Place them in your air fryer basket in a single layer (they all fit in mine, but if yours is smaller you may need to work in batches) and cook at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes (shaking/stirring once about halfway through) or until they’re slightly crispy and golden brown.
- Combine the ro-tel and onions in a small bowl. In a separate bowl, mash the avocado with a fork and add the lime juice and salt.
- Build your tacos by adding an even amount of potatoes to each taco, then top with tomato mixture, then smashed avocado. Sprinkle basil on top and serve with lime wedges.
