Ingredients- 7 medium-sized sweet potatoes
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the sweet potatoes for roasting. Wash them thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Since we’ll be cooking them with the skin on, it’s important to clean them meticulously.
Step 2
Sweet potatoes come in various sizes, but medium-sized ones are recommended for this recipe. They tend to cook more evenly in the air fryer, ensuring a moist and tender interior.
Step 3
Arrange the washed sweet potatoes in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Leaving a little space between them will help them cook more uniformly.
Step 4
Set the air fryer to 200°C (approximately 400°F) and cook for 25 minutes. Keep in mind that cooking time may vary slightly depending on the size of your sweet potatoes and the specific model of your air fryer, so you might want to check them halfway through.
Step 5
After 25 minutes, your delicious roasted sweet potatoes will be ready! As you take them out, you’ll be greeted by the wonderful aroma of freshly roasted sweet potatoes, and they’ll look plump and ready to eat.
Step 6
You can enjoy them immediately, but letting them cool slightly allows the natural sweetness to deepen. Be cautious as they are very hot; use tongs to carefully transfer them to a plate.
Step 7
Slice them open to reveal the beautiful, golden-yellow interior. Steam will escape, showing off the moist and tender flesh inside. It’s a truly mouthwatering sight!
Step 8
If you prefer a slightly crispier skin with a hint of char, you can increase the air fryer cooking time by an additional 5-10 minutes. However, even without the extra charring, the inside will already have that classic, wonderfully sweet and soft roasted sweet potato flavor.
Step 9
Be careful when eating, as the sweet potatoes are still hot even after peeling. Making these delicious roasted sweet potatoes at home is incredibly simple. Enjoy them with a warm cup of tea or a glass of milk!
