Calories: 126kcal
Ingredients
- 4 sweet potatoes
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Wash the sweet potatoes and dry them well.
- Prick them all over with a fork or knife tip.
- Rub with oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Place in the air fryer on shelves or the basket of an air fryer, leaving a space between them.
- Bake at 200c/400f for 30-35 minutes until soft (Cooking depend on the size of your sweet potatoes, larger ones can take 40 minutes or more. They're ready when a knife slides easily into the centre).
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- For the best potatoes, choose smooth-skinned sweet potatoes that don't have black marks on the skin and are of a similar size, so they cook evenly at the same time.
- I often like to sprinkle with herbs, spices or chilli flakes once you have oiled the potatoes for more flavour in the skins.
- If you are using more than one shelf in an air fryer, rotate partway through as the top shelf cooks quicker.
- Once cool, sweet potatoes can be stored in the fridge wrapped in foil for 3-4 days, then reheat when required. Freeze in freezer bags for up to 3 months, then defrost in the fridge overnight and reheat.
