Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)
  • Toppings like butter, sour cream, cheese, etc

Instructions
 

  • Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel. Using a sharp knife, make evenly spaced cuts across the top of each sweet potato, being careful not to cut all the way through. Aim for about 1/8-inch thick slices, leaving about 1/4 inch at the bottom intact.
  • In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Brush this seasoning blend generously over the sweet potatoes, ensuring it seeps into the cuts for maximum flavor.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
  • Place the seasoned sweet potatoes in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded. Cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the edges are crispy. Larger potatoes will take more time.
  • If you’re adding cheese, sprinkle it over the sweet potatoes during the last 5 minutes of cooking. This will allow the cheese to melt and become deliciously gooey.
  • Once cooked, carefully remove the sweet potatoes from the air fryer. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately.

Notes

  • To prevent cutting all the way through the sweet potatoes, place them between two wooden spoons or chopsticks while slicing. This will act as a guide and help you stop at the right point.
  • Cooking times may vary depending on the size of your sweet potatoes and the model of your air fryer. Keep an eye on them, and adjust the time as needed for perfectly crispy results.

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.
