1 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp coarse salt
Savory Toppings
Butter
Black beans
Shredded cheese
Sour cream
Chives
Sweet Toppings
Butter
Cinnamon sugar
Maple syrup

Equipment

  • Air Fryer Parchment Liners

Steps

  1. 1

    Scrub sweet potatoes and dry thoroughly. Poke each 6-8 times with a fork.

  2. 2

    Rub with olive oil and sprinkle with coarse salt.

  3. 3

    Air fry at 390°F for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway, until a knife slides through easily and the skin is caramelized.

  4. 4

    Cut a slit down the top, squeeze the ends to open. Fluff with a fork.

  5. 5

    Top savory-style with butter, beans, cheese, and sour cream — or go sweet with cinnamon, maple, and pecans.

💡

Tip: Look for sweet potatoes that are similar in size so they cook evenly. The caramelized sugary spots on the skin are the best part — don't peel them.
