Equipment

  • 1 Air fryer

Ingredients

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes weighing about 4-4.6 oz/ 115-130 g, Note 1
  • 1-2 teaspoons olive oil
  • fine sea salt and ground black pepper Note 2

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer, if necessary. Place in the basket.
  • Prepare sweet potatoes: Wash and dry the sweet potatoes very thoroughly. Pierce them all over with a fork. Rub well with oil, salt, and pepper.
    4 medium sweet potatoes + 1-2 teaspoons olive oil + fine sea salt and ground black pepper
  • Air fry the sweet potatoes at 390 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) for 40 to 50 minutes, depending on their size and shape. Flip halfway through using tongs. Slender, longer sweet potatoes will cook faster than thick round ones.

Notes

  1. Size: The sweet potatoes can be smaller or larger than indicated. Adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  2. Spices: Add other spices you like, or use a spice mixture. I often use a sweet potato or roast potato spice mixture.
