Ingredients

4 sweet potatoes washed and scrubbed, see notes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper Optional

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Poke holes in the sweet potatoes, then rub them with olive oil and salt.
Place them in the air fryer basket and air fry for 28-30 minutes, or do the fork test: insert it into the thickest part and if it slides out easily, it's done. If it isn't, continue air frying in 3 minute increments.
Let the sweet potatoes sit for 5 minutes, before slicing and serving.

Notes

Sweet potato cook time: The air frying time is based on a 3 to 4-ounce sweet potato. Please see the body for estimates on different weights.
TO STORE: Put the leftovers in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
TO FREEZE: Place the cooked and cooled potatoes in a ziplock bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
TO REHEAT: Ideally, reheat the sweet potatoes in the air fryer, but they are fine microwaved too.
