Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 Medium Medium Sweet Potatoes
  • 1/2 tsp Coarse Sea Salt Enhances the natural sweetness
  • 1/2 tbsp Olive Oil Helps crisp the skin

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and poke a few holes in them with a fork to avoid steaming issues.
  3. Rub the olive oil all over the sweet potatoes for an even coating, then sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
Cooking
  1. Carefully place the sweet potatoes into the air fryer basket.
  2. Cook for about 35-40 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.
  3. Once done, let them cool for a few minutes before serving to help the skin set.

Notes

Sweet potatoes can be served with butter and cinnamon, topped with black beans, salsa, and avocado, or mashed as a healthy alternative. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for about three months.
