Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potato

  • 1 sweet potato
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/3 tsp pepper

Topping

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) if your model requires preheating to ensure even cooking.
  2. Prepare the sweet potato: Pierce the sweet potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking, which prevents bursting and helps cook evenly.
  3. Season the sweet potato: Rub the sweet potato all over with olive oil, then evenly coat it with paprika, dried basil, salt, and pepper for balanced flavor and a crispy skin.
  4. Air fry the sweet potato: Place the seasoned sweet potato into the air fryer basket. Cook for 30 to 40 minutes until the sweet potato is tender inside and the skin is crispy and golden.
  5. Cool and slice: Carefully remove the sweet potato from the air fryer, let it cool slightly, then cut it lengthwise into two halves, creating two sweet potato jackets ready for serving.
  6. Serve with Greek yogurt: Top each sweet potato half with a generous dollop of Greek yogurt. Optionally, garnish with additional salt, pepper, and dried basil for extra flavor before enjoying.

Notes

  • Cooking times may vary depending on the size of the sweet potato and your specific air fryer model.
  • To make this recipe vegan, substitute the Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
  • Ensure the sweet potato is pierced well to prevent it from bursting during air frying.
  • Leftover sweet potato can be refrigerated and reheated in the air fryer for a crispy finish.
  • Use Greek yogurt full-fat or low-fat based on your nutrition preference.
