Baking sweet potatoes in an air fryer makes a delicious and easy side dish. The sweet potatoes are tender and fluffy inside and crispy outside. These sweet potatoes are nutritious and an easy to make side dish for your next family dinner.
Whole baked sweet potatoes are one of my favorite side dishes to serve with dinner. They are tasty, healthy and easy to make.
Ingredients
2 sweet potatoes
1/2 Tablespoon olive oil
1/2 Tablespoon kosher salt
Instructions
Wash the sweet potatoes well. Dry them thoroughly so they bake and not steam.
Use a fork to poke holes in the sweet potatoes.
Rub the olive oil all over the sweet potatoes and sprinkle them with the salt.
Put the prepared sweet potatoes in the air fryer basket, being sure not to crowd them.
Cook in the air fryer on 400 F for 30 minutes. Check the sweet potatoes for doneness and cook for another 5-15 minutes depending on their size. Sweet potatoes are done when they squish easily or when an instant read thermometer reads 200 F.
Serve with butter and cinnamon.
Notes
Choose sweet potatoes of similar sizes to ensure even and consistent cooking.
You can leave off the salt and oil if desired.
