Air Fryer Baked Sweet Potatoes
Description
The recipe starts by washing and drying whole medium sweet potatoes, then coating their skin evenly with avocado or olive oil and sprinkling with kosher salt. Cooking in the air fryer at 390°F for 40 to 45 minutes yields a soft interior with skin that crisps slightly from the oil and salt. Turning the potatoes midway through cooking ensures uniform doneness and texture on all sides. After slight cooling, the potatoes are sliced open and can be garnished with toppings like butter, cinnamon, or maple syrup according to taste. Using an air fryer streamlines the baking process by circulating hot air efficiently.
