Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)
- Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Wash the sweet potatoes and scrub off any dirt. Pat them completely dry.
- Pierce each potato several times with a fork.
- Rub the potatoes lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3–5 minutes.
- Place the sweet potatoes in the basket, leaving space between them.
- Air fry for 35–45 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking.
- Check for doneness by inserting a fork or knife into the thickest part. It should slide in easily.
- Carefully split the potatoes open and fluff the centers with a fork.
- Add your favorite toppings and serve hot.
🍠 For Extra Crispy Skin
Brush the potatoes with a very thin layer of oil before cooking and avoid overcrowding the basket.
Sweet Topping
For a simple dessert-style version, add a little butter, cinnamon, and a sprinkle of brown sugar.
Savory Topping
Try butter, black pepper, garlic powder, and fresh herbs.
