What You Will About Air Fryer Sweet Potatoes

• Fork Fluffy! This baked sweet potato is crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside – just begging for your butter and brown sugar!
• Simple! This easy air fryer recipe takes one minute to prepare – doesn’t get any easier than that!
• Perfect Side Dish! Sweet potatoes are a great side dish for fish, chicken, pork or steak! They’re full of vitamins and fiber – plus they’re easy to make!

• Sweet Potato – the time on this will vary depending on the size of your sweet potato. I used medium sweet potatoes for this recipe.
• Olive Oil – rubbing the outside of the potato helps make the outside crispy
• Butter & Brown Sugar – I love leaning into the sweetness and adding butter and brown sugar!
• OPTIONAL: salt & pepper or a sprinkle of cinnamon

Bonus Idea: Use these to make STUFFED sweet potatoes! Once they’re done – skip the brown sugar and add black beans, salsa, shredded cheese, chili powder and sour cream!

How to make Sweet Potato Wedges in the Air Fryer

Air frying is such a simple way to make side dishes and – if your air fryer is big enough – you can make fries & a burger all at once! Here’s how to make wedges:

1. Scrub sweet potatoes to remove excess dirt. Pat dry with paper towel to remove excess moisture.
2. Using a sharp knife, slice the ends off each sweet potato and cut them into wedges. Combine salt, pepper and cinnamon to make a seasoning blend.
3. Place wedges in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle oil over the wedges and toss to coat them. Sprinkle the spice mixture into the bowl and toss again to coat.
4. Arrange sweet potato wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure that the wedges are not touching – you may need to cook them in more than one batch.
5. Air fry the seasoned sweet potato wedges at 370º for 8 minute. Flip wedges and cook for another 4 minutes. 
6. Remove and serve with your favorite dipping sauce!

How to Serve Sweet Potatoes

I like my sweet potatoes with butter and brown sugar – but you can serve them many different ways. Here’s a few:

• Sweet Butter – make up some of my famous Texas Roadhouse Cinnamon Butter and top the sweet potato! Go crazy and add a drizzle of maple syrup to the butter mixture.
• Chili – living in Cinci, I’m used to chili with cinnamon and a little sweet – so topping a sweet potato with chili is a natural! And add a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of cheese and chives for even more yum!
• Sliced & Fried – Slice the sweet potato into THICK slices and fry them up! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside!
• Chicken & Avocado – make a healthy loaded baked potato with shredded chicken, black beans, diced tomatoes and avocado

How to make Smoked Sweet Potatoes on your Traeger grill

Making potatoes is super easy – it’s actually great to throw on when you’re making a protein like ribs or pork chops! Two birds – one stone!

1. Preheat your smoker to 250ºF with the lid closed.
2. Wash and dry the sweet potatoes to scrub off any dirt. Use a fork to poke holes around the potatoes. Place potatoes in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil and season all over with salt and pepper.
3. Place the sweet potatoes directly on the grill grates. Cook for 2.5 hours until the potatoes are fork tender. You can also test with an instant read thermometer and check for an internal temperature of 205ºF at their thickest point.
4. Remove from smoker. Tent with foil and rest briefly before serving with butter & brown sugar.
