Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper optional

Instructions
 

  • Wash and scrub sweet potatoes thoroughly.
  • Pat sweet potatoes completely dry.
  • Pierce each sweet potato 3–4 times with a fork.
  • Rub sweet potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with salt and black pepper.
  • Preheat air fryer to 400°F if required by your model.
  • Place sweet potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  • Cook for 35–45 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Test for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should slide in easily.
  • Remove from air fryer and rest for a few minutes.
  • Slice open, fluff with a fork, and serve.

Notes

Medium-sized sweet potatoes cook most evenly. Avoid overcrowding the basket for best crisping.
