Steps
- 01Wash the sweet potatoes and poke several holes in each with a fork. At least 8 to 10 pokes per potato. This lets steam escape and prevents them from bursting.
- 02Ready for the air fryer. No oil, no foil. Just the naked potato in the basket.
- 03When done, slice open lengthwise and fluff the inside with a fork.
- 04Load with toppings: yogurt first, then granola, nuts, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a dusting of cinnamon.
The sweet potato is done when a fork slides in with zero resistance. If there's any firmness in the center, give it 5 more minutes. An undercooked sweet potato is starchy and unpleasant. A properly cooked one is creamy and caramelized around the edges.
