Directions
-
Preheat the Air Fryer: Start by preheating your air fryer to 400°F. This step is crucial as it ensures that the sweet potatoes cook evenly, leading to that tremendous crispness you desire.
-
Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Once clean, dry them with a kitchen towel or paper towel.
-
Poke Holes: Using a fork, poke holes all over the sweet potatoes. This prevents them from bursting during the cooking process and helps steam escape.
-
Oil Them Up: Drizzle the sweet potatoes with olive oil. Using your hands, rub the oil all over the potatoes, ensuring they are well coated. This not only adds flavor but also contributes to the crispy texture.
-
Add Salt: Sprinkle salt generously over the potatoes. Seasoning is key to bringing out the natural sweetness of the potatoes and creating that tremendous flavor.
-
Air Frying: Carefully place the sweet potatoes in the air fryer basket. Make sure they’re not overcrowded to allow for even cooking. Air fry for 30 to 45 minutes, depending on their size, until they are fork-tender.
-
Check for Doneness: After about 30 minutes, check the sweet potatoes with a fork. The fork should easily pierce the flesh. If they need more time, continue to air fry, checking every 5 minutes.
-
Serve with Toppings: Once cooked to perfection, remove the sweet potatoes from the air fryer. Slice them open and fluff the insides with a fork. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy this tremendous dish!
