Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 sweet potatoes medium
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Scrub the dirt off the sweet potatoes and prick a hole in the skin with a fork or knife.
  • Rub olive oil all over the potatoes.
  • Place them in the air fryer and set the temperature to 400°F. Bake for 30 minutes.
  • Check the potatoes after 15 to 20 minutes. If they start to get too brown on top, flip them over.
  • Potatoes are done if they feel soft when you squeeze them or they are fork-tender.
  • Cook larger sweet potatoes for an additional 10 to 20 minutes.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket or stack the sweet potatoes on top of each other. If you have a small basket, you may only be able to fit 2 potatoes at a time.
  • The cooking time will vary depending on the size of your potatoes. Start checking them after 25 to 30 minutes. If they are fork-tender, they are done.
