For a richer flavor, try using maple syrup instead of brown sugar. A sprinkle of sea salt after baking enhances the sweetness. If you like a crispy skin, you can brush the sweet potato with a little extra olive oil before air frying. Consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the cinnamon for a more complex spice profile. Leftover baked sweet potato can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or microwave.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to the manufacturer's instructions. (Approximately 2 minutes)
02
StepThoroughly wash the sweet potato. Using a fork, pierce it multiple times to allow steam to escape. (Approximately 3 minutes)
03
StepRub the olive oil evenly over the entire sweet potato, ensuring it's lightly coated. Place the prepared sweet potato in the air fryer basket. (Approximately 1 minute)
04
StepAir fry for 15 minutes. Carefully turn the sweet potato and continue cooking for another 15-20 minutes, or until it's easily pierced with a fork and feels soft to the touch. (Approximately 30-35 minutes)
05
StepOnce cooked, carefully remove the sweet potato from the air fryer. Make a slit lengthwise down the top of the potato. Gently fluff the flesh with a fork.
06
StepTop with the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Adjust the amounts to your personal preference. Serve immediately and enjoy! (Approximately 2 minutes)
