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 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.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Choose smooth-skinned sweet potatoes, that don't have black marks on the skin.
  • Choose potatoes of a similar size so they all cook at the same time.
  • You can sprinkle with 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 part way through as the top shelf cooks quicker.
  • Once cool sweet potatoes can be kept in the fridge or frozen. Wrap in foil and store in the fridge 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.
