Air Fryer Sweet Potatoes
Description
The Air Fryer Sweet Potatoes recipe involves washing, drying, and piercing the potatoes to allow steam to escape during cooking. Coating them in neutral oil and a sprinkle of salt helps flavor the skins and promotes a slight crispness. Air frying at 390°F for about 45 minutes (timing adjusted depending on potato size) cooks the sweet potatoes through while concentrating their natural sugars.
The resulting texture is soft and creamy inside, making them suitable as a side or snack. The dry heat of the air fryer preserves the sweet potato’s integrity without adding extra moisture or a boiled texture. This method avoids peeling or cutting beforehand, preserving nutrients in the skin.
