Notes
- Wash and dry the sweet potatoes well so the oil and salt will stick to the skin and get it extra crispy.
- Air fry the sweet potatoes until they are tender and soft with a crispy skin. The holes will also show bits of caramelization around them.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days or wrapped in foil and frozen in a freezer bag for up to 6 months.
- Reheat leftovers by cooking them halved in a preheated air fryer at 350 degrees F for 5 to 6 minutes until heated all the way through.
