Air Fryer Baked Potato [No Oil]
Description
Begin by thoroughly rinsing and scrubbing medium russet potatoes. Pierce the skin multiple times with a fork or knife to allow steam to escape during cooking and prevent bursting. Sprinkle the potatoes evenly with salt, garlic powder, and black pepper for seasoning, though these are optional.
Place the prepared potatoes in the air fryer basket and cook at 400°F, flipping halfway through to cook evenly. The skin crisps up naturally without added oil, while the inside becomes soft and fluffy, indicated by easy fork penetration.
Serve the baked potatoes warm with optional toppings such as vegan butter, vegan bacon bits, cashew cream, or guacamole to add flavor and texture. This method provides a straightforward way to enjoy baked potatoes with minimal fuss and no added oil.
Notes emphasize careful piercing of the potato skin to avoid steam buildup causing explosions. Cooking time may vary based on potato size and air fryer model. Monitor doneness by testing with a fork.
