Ingredients
Sweet Potatoes
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 to 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh thyme or rosemary, optional
Whipped Maple Butter
- 1/2 cup butter, softened to room temperature
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional
Instructions
- Scrub the sweet potatoes and dry them completely.
- Place each potato between two wooden spoon handles. Slice straight down at 1/4-inch intervals, letting the handles stop the knife. Gently fan the slices apart.
- Brush the potatoes with olive oil, working it down into the cuts. Season with sea salt and pepper. Tuck herbs into a few slices if using.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F for 3 minutes.
- Arrange the potatoes in a single layer in the basket. Air fry at 350°F for 20 minutes, brushing again with oil at the 10-minute mark.
- While they cook, whip the softened butter, maple syrup, salt, and cinnamon together for about 1 minute until light and fluffy.
- The potatoes are done when a fork slides in easily and the edges are dark and crisp. Rest 3–5 minutes.
- Spoon the whipped maple butter over the top and serve warm.
Equipment
- Cooking Spray
- Parchment Paper, optional
Notes
- Cook time varies with potato size. Small potatoes need 13–15 minutes, large ones 25–30.
- Never air fry the maple butter on the potatoes. It burns.
- Oven method: 425°F for 40–50 minutes.
