Ingredients

FOR THE AIR FRYER SWEET POTATOES:

2 medium sweet potatoes about 8 ounces each
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil optional

OPTIONAL, FOR SERVING:

Butter
Salt and black pepper
Chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, cilantro, or thyme
Cinnamon and brown sugar
Any of the variations from The Well Plated Cookbook

Instructions

Scrub and dry the sweet potatoes (no need to peel). Poke all over with the tines of a fork. If desired, rub the outsides of the sweet potatoes with oil. No need to wrap in foil.
Preheat the air fryer to 370°F. Air fry the sweet potatoes until they are fork tender, about 40 to 50 minutes depending upon the size of your sweet potato.
Let cool a few minutes. Cut a slit in the top, then open the sweet potato and lightly fluff with a fork. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Notes

TO STORE: Refrigerate sweet potatoes in an airtight storage container for up to 1 week.
TO REHEAT: Rewarm leftovers on a baking sheet in the oven at 350°F or in the microwave.
TO FREEZE: Wrap sweet potatoes in plastic wrap and freeze them in an airtight freezer-safe storage container or ziptop bag for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
