Air Fryer Baked Sweet Potatoes
Air fryer baked sweet potatoes are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The combination of sweet and savory makes it a great side with your main course.
Equipment
- Kitchen Tongs
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes scrubbed and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
- Salt and ground black pepper
Instructions
- Wash and dry the potatoes. Coat them with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place sweet potatoes in the air fryer basket.
- Cook at 390°F (198°C) for 40-50 minutes (depending on the size of your sweet potatoes), flipping over halfway through the cook time.
Notes
- Scrubbing the sweet potatoes is necessary. You don't want dirt in your food!
- Make sure all the potatoes you cook are the same size so they cook at the same rate.
- Don't overcrowd the basket or the potatoes won't cook properly.
- Be sure to use enough oil on the skins or they will dry out and can become tough.
- There is no need to pierce the potatoes.
All air fryers have different wattage and may cook at different rates. You may need to adjust the time or temp for the best results.
