Cooking Instructions
Step 1
I’ll tell you how to bake sweet potatoes in the air fryer and the cooking time. This is a super simple method!
Step 2
First, since we’ll be baking the sweet potatoes with their skins on, it’s important to clean them thoroughly. Use a soft sponge to gently scrub the outer skin of the sweet potatoes under running water. This ensures they are clean and ready for baking, making them safe and delicious to eat, skin and all.
Step 3
Next, line the bottom of your air fryer basket with parchment paper. This not only helps prevent any sweet potato juices from sticking to the basket, making cleanup a breeze, but also ensures even cooking. Place the clean sweet potatoes onto the prepared parchment paper.
Step 4
When arranging the sweet potatoes in the air fryer, try not to let them overlap. Placing them in a single layer with some space between each one allows the hot air to circulate evenly around them, resulting in a more uniformly baked and delicious sweet potato. More space means better cooking!
Step 5
Now, let’s bake them! Set your air fryer to 200°C (approximately 400°F) and cook for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, carefully flip the sweet potatoes over and bake for another 10 minutes. That’s it! You’ll have delicious baked sweet potatoes ready to enjoy. If they seem to be browning too quickly, you can slightly reduce the temperature or cooking time. A fork or skewer inserted easily into the sweet potato indicates it’s perfectly cooked.
Step 6
Voilà! Your perfectly baked sweet potatoes, with a slightly chewy skin and a soft, sweet, and moist interior, are ready. Enjoying them warm, perhaps with a gentle puff of steam, is pure bliss. This is truly the ultimate winter snack, perfect for cozying up at home. They make a fantastic treat for kids and a delightful accompaniment for adults too!
