Ingredients

Scale
  1. 4 medium sweet potatoes
  2. 1 tbsp olive oil
  3. Salt, to taste
  4. Optional toppings: butter, cinnamon, brown sugar, or your favorite toppings

Instructions

  • Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and scrub sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove dirt. Pat them dry and prick several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
  • Season the Sweet Potatoes: Rub each sweet potato with olive oil, ensuring an even coat. Sprinkle with salt to taste.
  • Air Fry the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for 5 minutes. Place the sweet potatoes in the basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook for 35-40 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender and easily pierced with a fork.
  • Serve: Remove sweet potatoes from the air fryer and let cool for a few minutes. Slice open and top with your favorite toppings like butter, cinnamon, or brown sugar. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the size of your sweet potatoes and the model of your air fryer.
  • For a savory twist, try topping with sour cream, chives, or shredded cheese.
