Air Fryer Sweet Potato & Chickpea Curry

A curry in your air fryer? Yes you can! I just love the colour of sweet potatoes no matter how they are cooked, they are just so vibrant. I use frozen sweet potatoes for this curry, but you can of course use fresh ones if you prefer. The same goes for the spinach, if you don’t have fresh then pop in some nuggets of frozen spinach and add a little more cooking time.
