A simple and healthy recipe for perfectly cooked sweet potatoes using an air fryer. This method ensures a tender, flavorful inside with a slightly crispy skin in just about 30-45 minutes without heating up your kitchen.

Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes

Seasoning

  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt

Serving (optional)

  • Butter, to taste
  • Cinnamon, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Dry them completely with a clean towel to ensure they bake rather than steam.
  2. Poke Holes: Use a fork to poke several holes all over each sweet potato. This helps steam escape and allows for even cooking.
  3. Oil and Salt: Rub olive oil evenly all over the surface of the sweet potatoes. Sprinkle kosher salt generously over them to enhance flavor and help crisp the skin.
  4. Air Fry: Place the sweet potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they’re not crowded to allow proper air circulation.
  5. Cook: Air fry at 400°F (204°C) for 30 minutes. Check after 30 minutes by squeezing gently or inserting an instant-read thermometer; they should feel soft and reach 200°F (93°C). If not done, cook for an additional 5-15 minutes depending on their size.
  6. Serve: Once cooked, slice open and serve warm with butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired for added flavor.

Notes

  • Make sure to completely dry sweet potatoes before air frying to achieve crispy skin.
  • Cooking time might vary depending on the size and thickness of sweet potatoes.
  • Use an instant-read thermometer for best accuracy to check doneness.
  • Optional toppings like butter and cinnamon add extra richness and warmth.
  • Leftover cooked sweet potatoes can be refrigerated for up to 4 days and reheated.
