How to cook Sweet Potatoes in the Air Fryer
Sometimes, you just want to pop a sweet potato into the trusty air fryer quickly without heating the entire kitchen with the oven. And if your family is anything like mine, I'm the only person in the house that eats sweet potatoes (It's crazy... I know), then throwing them into the air fryer is perfect for one or two people. Unlike my picky family, I think sweet potatoes are AMAZING! In my opinion, they are the candy of the vegetable community and make a delicious side dish. The fact that they are naturally sweet is just so appealing to me. With just a sprinkle of salt and a little butter, you are in business! So, I'm here to show you How to Cook Sweet Potatoes in the Air Fryer, which is the BEST WAY, in my opinion!
Equipment
- 1 Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 1 medium sweet potato
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- First, preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F.
- Second, wash the potatoes in cold water and dry thoroughly.
- Third, take a fork and poke 2-3 holes on each side of the sweet potato.
- Next, place the potato in the preheated air fryer and cook for 50 minutes or until the sweet potato is tender and a little golden brown on the edges. (I turned the potato over at the halfway mark.)
- Finally, cut the potato in half, fluff with a fork, top with salt, butter, or other favorite toppings, and ENJOY!
