Servings: 2 servings
Cost: $5
Equipment
- 1 air fryer
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
For the butter
- ¼ cup butter softened
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Wash and scrub the potatoes to remove any dirt. Pat dry with a paper towel.
- Using a fork, poke several holes over each sweet potato. This allows them to cook evenly, release steam and bake up fluffy.
- Coat the outside of each sweet potato with olive oil and season with kosher salt.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400˚F.
- Arrange the sweet potatoes in the air fryer basket being sure to not crowd them.
- Air Fry at 400˚F for 25 minutes turning the potatoes over halfway through the cooking time.
- Check the sweet potatoes for doneness by inserting a fork into the center. If it slides in easily, they are done. If still firm, continue cooking for an additional 4-5 minutes.
- While the sweet potatoes are cooking, make the butter by combining the butter, honey, cayenne pepper and salt until smooth.
- Serve the sweet potatoes with the butter and a sprinkle of course sea salt.
