Air Fryer Sweet Potato Halves
A quick and easy way to make baked sweet potatoes in the air fryer. If you only need one or two, there is no need to turn the oven on! This is perfect for lunchtime or a simple side dish. Baking them in halves is quicker than whole, and you can add your favorite baked potato fillings on top!
Ingredients
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 1 tsp olive oil, for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 180C / 360F.
- Slice your sweet potato in half lengthways.
- Brush the cut sides with olive oil.
- Place face down in a small baking dish that fits in your air fryer basket (or on parchment paper directly on the air fryer basket) and cook for 30 minutes. If you are using parchment paper, don't add it when you preheat - only when you are adding the sweet potatoes - you need the paper weighed down or the air fryer fans will make it fly up and potentially catch fire.
- Check in and see if they are soft throughout. Cook for another 10 minutes if needed.
- Add toppings and serve.
