Instructions
 

Step 1 – Prep the Potatoes:

  • Wash and scrub sweet potatoes thoroughly. Pat dry with a clean towel.
  • Rub each potato with olive oil and sprinkle with salt if using.

Step 2 – Cook in Air Fryer:

  • Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  • Place sweet potatoes in the basket, spaced apart.

Step 3 – Serve:

  • Let cool slightly. Slice open and fluff with a fork.
  • Top with butter, cinnamon, brown sugar, or savoury toppings like sour cream or herbs.

Notes

  • Cook time may vary slightly depending on potato size and air fryer model.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat in air fryer for 5–7 minutes.
  • For savoury flavour, add garlic butter or crumbled feta on top.
