Air Fryer Sweet Potato with Cheese
Easy Air Fryer Sweet Potato with Cheese Recipe
I made sweet potato with cheese in the air fryer. The sweet sweet potato and stretchy pizza cheese are so delicious. This is a delightful and incredibly simple snack that combines the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with the savory, melty goodness of pizza cheese, all made effortlessly in your air fryer.
Ingredients- 1 medium sweet potato
- 50g pizza cheese
- Parsley flakes (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash the sweet potato under running water. Scrub away any dirt or residue. Trim off both ends of the sweet potato for a neat shape.
Step 2
Place the cleaned sweet potato into your air fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 180°C (350°F) and cook for approximately 30 minutes. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of your sweet potato. To check for doneness, insert a fork or skewer; it should slide in easily when the sweet potato is tender.
Step 3
Carefully remove the well-cooked sweet potato from the air fryer. Allow it to cool slightly so it’s easier to handle. Then, using a knife, slice the sweet potato in half lengthwise. Be sure not to cut all the way through; leave a small portion at the bottom connected so the cheese can be placed on top easily.
Step 4
Gently scoop out some of the sweet potato flesh from each half to create a small hollow for the cheese. Generously pile the pizza cheese into the hollowed-out space. Don’t be shy with the cheese for the best cheesy experience! Return the cheese-topped sweet potato halves to the air fryer and cook at 160°C (320°F) for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is nicely melted and golden brown.
Step 5
Voila! Your delicious Air Fryer Sweet Potato with Cheese is ready. The sight of the perfectly melted, slightly browned cheese atop the sweet potato is truly appetizing.
Step 6
Carefully transfer the finished sweet potato with cheese to a serving plate. For an extra touch of color and flavor, sprinkle a little parsley flakes over the top, if desired. This dish is best enjoyed immediately while warm, allowing you to savor the delightful stretch of the cheese and the natural sweetness of the potato.
