Prep the Sweet Potatoes:
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes to remove any dirt. Pat dry. Use a fork to poke several holes in each sweet potato to allow steam to escape during cooking.
Oil and Season:
Rub the sweet potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with coarse sea salt.
Preheat Air Fryer:
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3–5 minutes.
Cook:
Place sweet potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispness.
Check for Doneness:
Insert a fork or knife into the center of the potatoes. If it slides in easily, they are done. If not, cook for an additional 5 minutes and check again.
Serve:
Allow sweet potatoes to rest for a couple of minutes. Cut the top open, fluff the inside, and add your preferred toppings.

Select sweet potatoes of similar size for even cooking.
Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation.
Rest cooked sweet potatoes for a few minutes before slicing to retain moisture.
The skin is edible and adds extra texture, but can be peeled after cooking if preferred.
Feel free to experiment with sweet, savory, or protein-packed toppings to customize each meal.
