Air Fryer Smashed Sweet Potatoes
Sweet, melty, buttery smashed sweet potatoes made easily in your air fryer! A delightful side dish made in a small batch to serve two, or it can be scaled up in a larger air fryer.
Ingredients
- 1 small sweet potato, chopped into small rounds or cubes
- olive oil, for brushing
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 tsp honey
- spices and seasonings, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 180C / 360F.
- Add the sweet potato to an 8x8 inch cake pan. Brush very lightly with olive oil. Place in the air fryer for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the butter and honey together in a small bowl. Microwave for 15-30 seconds until melted and set aside.
- Remove the sweet potatoes from the air fryer and use a small glass or ramekin to gently press on each piece of sweet potato to smash / break / misshape it. You don't want it to fully collapse - you just want it a little misshapen, and you want some of the soft flesh to be exposed.
- Add any spices and seasonings you're using to the top of the sweet potatoes and then spoon the honey butter over the top of each sweet potato.
- Put back in the air fryer for another 10-15 minutes until the tops are caramelized.
