Notes
- Choose sweet potatoes that are similar in size for even cooking.
- To check if the air fryer sweet potatoes are done, insert a fork or skewer into the centre. It should slide in easily.
- Remove the sweet potatoes from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes. Slice them open and fluff the insides with a fork before serving.
- If you're in a hurry, you can start the sweet potatoes in the microwave. Pierce and microwave on high for 5-6 minutes before transferring to the air fryer to finish cooking and crisp up the skin.
- If you have a small air fryer, you might need to cook the sweet potatoes in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- To ensure even cooking of the air fryer baked sweet potato, flip the sweet potatoes halfway through the cooking time. Use tongs to handle them safely.
- For an even crispier skin, after the initial cooking time, brush the sweet potatoes with a bit more olive oil and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Don't forget to pierce holes in the sweet potatoes, otherwise they will burst in the air fryer.
