Instructions
- Prep the sweet potatoes: Begin by washing and scrubbing your sweet potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry.

- Preheat the air fryer: Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat.
- Cook: Place the sweet potatoes in the air fryer basket, ensuring they’re not overcrowded. Cook for about 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through.
- Check for doneness: After 25 minutes, insert a fork or knife into the thickest part; they should be tender.
