Equipment

  • 1 Basket-style Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes

Instructions

  • Wash the potatoes under hot water. Use a paring knife to stab each potato a few times. This allows steam to escape as they cook.
  • Put the potatoes in the basket of your air fryer.
  • Roast at 375 degrees F for 40 minutes, flipping over halfway through cooking time.
  • Once they are easily pierced with a fork they are done cooking.

Notes

I mixed together 1/4 cup chopped pecans, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice.
Split each potato and top evenly with the brown sugar mixture and then top each sweet potato with a pat of butter. Heat the potatoes in the air fryer for one additional minute to melt the butter.
