Step 1

Wash and dry sweet potatoes. Rub 1/2 a tsp of olive oil into the skin of the sweet potatoes using your hands.

Step 2

Sprinkle with salt and pepper evenly.

Step 3

Place in the air fryer basket. Be sure not to overcrowd. Give them about an inch of space between each one.

Step 4

Set the air fryer to 400° Fahrenheit. Bake for 40 minutes. At the 20 minute mark flip the potatoes over using tongs. Check for doneness at 40 minutes. If they are not fully cooked, add 10 more minutes or until the skin is crispy and the center is cooked through.

Step 5

Slice them down the center, fluff with a fork, and add your favorite fillings such as butter, and brown sugar.
