Baking them in the air fryer means you can use LESS oil, and you end up with amazingly light and fluffy sweet potatoes with the perfect crispy skin! Looking for more side chopped sweet potatoes in oven options?

Perfectly baked sweet potatoes, every time! Crispy on the outside and oh so fluffy on the inside, and with a quick 5 minute prep too! Perfect side dish for dinner or a holiday event. Aren’t sweet potatoes just the best? I love a great baked sweet potato, all slathered with some butter, cinnamon and sugar.

They’re perfect alongside a great steak, or even stuffed. Side note, have you checked out these Chorizo Enchilada stuffed sweet potatoes? They are a fabulous light dinner or lunch option! Roasting them in the oven works well, but it tends to heat up the kitchen, and for whatever reason, I can’t get the skins as crispy as I’d like. The air fryer solves both of those problems, and is healthier, since you use hardly any oil!
