- 4 medium sized sweet potatoes
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- Optional Toppings: Butter, Brown Sugar, Cinnamon etc.
Wash the sweet potatoes and then poke several times with a fork.
In a mixing bowl combine all ingredients, toss until potatoes are coated..
Place the potatoes in the basket of the Air Fryer, then close and set to 390 degrees for 40 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender.
Cut open, top with your favorite toppings like butter, brown sugar, cinnamon etc.
- Be sure to use medium-sized sweet potatoes for this recipe! If you use large ones they will need a longer cook time.
- Don't forget to poke holes in the potatoes! As they cook, steam will build up inside the potato and if it doesn't have a way to escape the potato could explode - eek!
- Don't wrap your potatoes in foil. I've seen this for oven versions and it's a no-no for the air fryer. The skin won't get crispy!
- Use tongs to remove the potatoes from the air fryer - probably goes without saying, but they will be hot!
- You can eat the skin! It's packed with fiber and potassium for added nutrition.
