Air Fryer Baked Sweet Potatoes
Forget heating up the oven, use the air fryer for baked sweet potatoes. The first time I baked sweet potatoes in the air fryer it was a game-changer for me.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes about 6-8 ounces each
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Wash and dry the sweet potatoes. Poke holes all over them with a fork. Drizzle with oil and rub all over the potatoes with your hands.
- Place in the air fryer and sprinkle generously with salt. Air fry for 30-45 minutes until fork tender. Serve with the toppings of your choice.
Notes
The cooking time for sweet potatoes depends entirely on the size of the potatoes. The sweet potatoes pictured here were fairly small to medium size and they cooked in just over 30 minutes.
Larger sweet potatoes typically require about 45 minutes of cooking time. Don't stress the outsides of the potatoes, as they will be deeply browned by the time the potatoes are cooked through. Just test with a fork for doneness.
