Sweet Potatoes In Air Fryer

If you are hosting a small holiday feast these Air Fried Sweet Potatoes are great. Only because you can only fit 3-4 sweet potatoes in an air fryer.

However, I make Air Fried Sweet Potatoes year round to enjoy with my regular meals or as a snack.

Here are a few more Air Fryer Side Dish Recipes for your holiday menu:

Can You Put A Potato In An Air Fryer

Absolutely. You can cook regular potatoes {Air Fryer Baked Potato Recipe} and sweet potatoes in your air fryer. Just puncture with a fork, rub with a bit of oil and air fry them until tender.

Yes!Sweet potatoes are a good source of vitamins and minerals. They are high in beta-carotene and touted as being anti-inflammatory.

If you are only enjoying these tasty nuggets during the holiday feasts, try adding them to your diet on a more regular basis. Not only are they delicious but nutritious too!
