Air Fryer Weight Watchers Baked Sweet Potatoes Recipe Tips

  • Prick the Sweet Potatoes: Before air frying, use a fork to prick the sweet potatoes several times. This helps prevent them from exploding while cooking.
  • Adjust Cooking Time for Size: Larger sweet potatoes will take longer to cook, so check the tenderness with a fork and add a few extra minutes if needed.
  • Use Olive Oil Sparingly: To keep the dish low in SmartPoints, brush a small amount of olive oil on the sweet potatoes rather than drenching them.
  • Season for Flavor: Sea salt is a great choice, but feel free to add spices like cinnamon or paprika to enhance the flavor.
  • Flip Halfway: If your air fryer requires it, flip the sweet potatoes halfway through cooking for an even crispiness on all sides.
  • Allow Resting Time: After cooking, let the sweet potatoes rest for a few minutes to allow the steam to settle and make them easier to handle.
