Sweet Potatoes cooked to perfection in the Air Fryer is a side dish that takes very little effort to make yet yields amazing results! They’re tender and creamy on the inside with crispy skin on the outside for sweet potatoes that you’ll be craving time and time again.

Sweet Potatoes cooked perfectly in the Air Fryer then seasoned with salt and cinnamon sugar along with butter is an amazing easy to make side dish.

Our family is absolutely nuts over sweet potatoes. I can honestly say that I make them at least once a week. What I really like about sweet potatoes is that I can turn them into a savory or sweet dish which makes them an ideal match for many of the main dish recipes I serve for supper. They are loaded with nutrients, are high in potassium, vitamin E, C, and are a great source of fiber when eaten with the skin on. All these extra benefits make me super happy when my family digs into them.

For a couple of years now, I’ve been baking sweet potatoes in my air fryer. It’s one of those pieces of kitchen equipment that really outperforms itself when it comes to cooking. I’ve made so many recipes in my air fryer and have loved how they turn out. The benefits of air frying are wide-ranging, but here are my favorites –

low-fat cooking since very little oil is used.
foods are crispy and crunchy on the outside, yet tender and juicy on the inside thanks to the circulation of hot air.
easy clean up with none of the mess that “frying” requires.
it’s portable so I can take it with us when we travel to the coast or mountains.

If you’re looking for the best, baked, sweet potato, then air frying is the way to go. All I do is rub them with a slight bit of olive oil, sprinkle on some salt then cook them in the air fryer until fork tender. I serve them with butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar for a savory, sweet flavor that’s totally mouthwatering!
