Equipment

Air Fryer

Ingredients

4 medium sweet potatoes
2 tsp vegetable oil (or other neutral oil such as grapeseed oil)
2 tsp salt

To serve

4 tbsp butter

Instructions

Preheat your Air Fryer to 200 degrees Celsius (or 390 degrees Fahrenheit) while you get everything else ready.
Wash your sweet potatoes with a vegetable scrubber or clean kitchen cloth and some warm water.
Dry them well with paper towels and make sure they're as dry as possible. Poke them all over using a fork.
Add the oil to your potatoes and massage the skins well. Place your potatoes in your air fryer in one layer with some space between them.
Air fry at 200 degrees Celsius (or 390 degrees Fahrenheit) for 35-45 minutes depending on the size of your potatoes, flipping them after 15-18 minutes.
Test them after 30 minutes with a knife or a fork. If they are soft in the middle, your potatoes are done. If not, place them back in for 5-minute intervals until done.
Serve with butter, fresh cracked pepper and sea salt. Enjoy!

Notes

Reheating instructions

Reheat in the Air Fryer for about 3-4 minutes or until warmed through. It's best to reheat the sweet potatoes before they've been cut open, to keep the moisture inside.

Storage instructions

These baked sweet potatoes are best enjoyed right after they come out of the Air Fryer, but feel free to store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
