Air Fryer Hasselback Sweet Potatoes are a delicious and crispy twist on the classic roasted sweet potatoes. Here’s a simple recipe to make them:
Ingredients:
- 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: grated cheese, chopped herbs (such as parsley or rosemary), sour cream, or Greek yogurt
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for a few minutes.
- Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Slice each sweet potato into thin, even slices, making sure not to cut all the way through. Leave about 1/8 inch at the bottom intact, so the potato holds together.
- Place the sliced sweet potatoes in a mixing bowl and drizzle them with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, and toss them gently to coat all the slices evenly.
- Arrange the sweet potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If necessary, cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Cook the sweet potatoes in the air fryer for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and golden brown, flipping them halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
- Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool slightly.
- Serve the Hasselback sweet potatoes as they are, or sprinkle them with grated cheese and place them back in the air fryer for a minute or two to melt the cheese.
- Garnish with chopped herbs and serve with sour cream or Greek yogurt if desired.
These Hasselback sweet potatoes make a delightful side dish or even a light meal on their own. Enjoy the crispy exterior and the tender, flavorful interior of these delicious air fryer sweet potatoes!
