Ingredients

Main Ingredients

2 pieces Sweet potatoes Choose firm and heavy sweet potatoes for best results.
1 tablespoon Olive oil A thin layer helps the skin brown and hold seasoning.
1 teaspoon Salt Adjust to taste, especially if you enjoy the skin.
1 teaspoon Pepper Use more for a spicier skin.

Method

Preparation

Preheat your air fryer to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and dry the sweet potatoes well.
Pierce each sweet potato a few times with a fork.
Rub a thin layer of olive oil all over each potato, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Cooking

Air fry the sweet potatoes for 45-60 minutes, until a fork slides into the center easily.

Serving

Cool briefly, then split open and fluff the inside with a fork.

Notes

Store leftovers in the fridge, covered, and reheat in the air fryer. Avoid crowding the basket for best results. Always check for doneness with a fork.
