Cooking Instructions
Step 1
For this recipe, we’ll be using the sweet potatoes with their skins on. First, wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or debris. Arrange them in a single layer in your air fryer basket or on the tray, making sure they aren’t too crowded. This allows for even cooking and optimal caramelization.
Step 2
Set your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) and cook for 15 minutes. After the initial 15 minutes, do not open the air fryer door. Let them steam inside for an additional 10 minutes. This steaming process helps to make the inside of the sweet potatoes incredibly moist and tender. If you prefer a softer texture or are using larger sweet potatoes, you can extend the cooking time by another 10 minutes.
Step 3
Once the steaming is complete, it’s time to check if your baked sweet potatoes are perfectly cooked. You can do this by inserting a fork or skewer into one; it should slide in easily if they are tender. Alternatively, carefully remove one sweet potato and cut it open to reveal the inside. You should see a beautiful, moist, and fluffy interior, steaming invitingly. They look delicious, don’t they?
Step 4
These freshly baked sweet potatoes are a delightful snack on their own. Their natural sweetness combined with a subtle smoky aroma makes them a crowd-pleaser for all ages. With just an air fryer, you can easily and conveniently make these wonderfully tasty baked sweet potatoes without any fuss.
