Make Delicious Honey Butter Roasted Sweet Potatoes in the Air Fryer
Thinking of a more delicious way to enjoy sweet potatoes, I tried baking them with butter and cheese, and they were incredibly delicious! I’m sharing the Honey Butter Roasted Sweet Potato recipe. It’s a delightful snack that even picky eaters will love, with the perfect balance of sweetness and savory richness. Perfect for a quick treat or a simple dessert!
Main Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 20g unsalted butter
- 80g mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 2-3 Tbsp honey (adjust to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly, scrubbing away any dirt. Place them in a pot with enough water to cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 20-30 minutes until tender. They are cooked when a chopstick or fork easily pierces through. Drain the cooked sweet potatoes and let them cool slightly. (Tip: You can also steam them.)
Step 2
Soften the butter slightly by microwaving it for 10-20 seconds or leaving it at room temperature. Cut the softened butter into 4 equal pieces, each weighing about 5g. Set aside.
Step 3
On the slightly cooled sweet potatoes, make a deep cut about two-thirds of the way down from the top, being careful not to cut all the way through. Insert a piece of the prepared butter into the slit. The butter will melt and infuse the sweet potato with its rich flavor.
Step 4
Generously sprinkle the cheese over the sweet potatoes with the butter inserted. The melted cheese will create a wonderful harmony with the sweet potato. Drizzle honey liberally over the cheese according to your preference. This will enhance the sweetness.
Step 5
Place the prepared honey butter sweet potatoes in the air fryer basket, lightly greased or lined with parchment paper. Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 7-10 minutes. They are ready when the exterior is golden brown and the cheese is completely melted and bubbly. (Tip: Adjust cooking time based on your air fryer’s specifications.)
Step 6
Finish by sprinkling a pinch of dried parsley over the completed honey butter roasted sweet potatoes for an attractive presentation. Enjoy immediately while warm to savor the full flavors of butter and cheese.
