We’ve made an incredibly simple Outback-style baked sweet potato with butter! This recipe is so easy that anyone can make it. Enjoy the warm, sweet, and buttery goodness right at home.
Ingredients- 1 Sweet potato (medium size)
- 1 piece of Butter (approx. 10-15g)
- 1 Tbsp Honey
- A pinch of Cinnamon powder (to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the sweet potato thoroughly. If you plan to eat the skin, scrubbing with baking soda or coarse salt will ensure it’s extra clean. Pat the sweet potato dry and place it in the air fryer basket. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 20 minutes. Adjust the baking time based on the size of your sweet potato.
Step 2
After 20 minutes, check if the sweet potato is cooked. Insert a chopstick or fork; it should slide in easily. Flip the sweet potato over and bake for an additional 10 minutes at 180°C (350°F). This ensures all sides are evenly cooked and the exterior becomes beautifully golden.
Step 3
Carefully remove the hot, steamy sweet potato from the air fryer. Using a knife, gently make a lengthwise slit down the center of the sweet potato. Be careful not to cut all the way through to the bottom; you’re creating a pocket to hold the delicious fillings.
Step 4
Place a piece of butter into the slit you just made in the sweet potato. The residual heat from the sweet potato will gradually melt the butter, allowing it to blend beautifully with the starchy potato.
Step 5
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of sweet honey over the butter. The sweetness of the honey will complement the natural sugars in the sweet potato, creating a richer flavor profile. Feel free to adjust the amount of honey to your preference.
Step 6
Finally, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon powder over the top, if desired. Cinnamon adds a wonderful aroma and enhances the overall flavor, giving it that special Outback-like touch.
Step 7
As the butter melts into the honey and infuses the sweet potato, your ‘Air Fryer Baked Sweet Potato with Butter’ is complete! Serve it immediately while warm for the best experience – a slightly chewy exterior, a soft and creamy interior, and a burst of sweetness that will delight your taste buds. It’s a simple yet special homemade treat. Enjoy your delicious creation!
