Instructions

Step one: Wash and peel the sweet potato. You can certainly use your potato without peeling; just ensure the potato(es) are clean.
Step two: slice sweet potato. Easily slice the peeled sweet potato in equal rounds or close in other to cook evenly.
Step three: season sweet potato slices. I used butter, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to season. First, melt and sprinkle the melted butter, then the spices. Then use a silicone spatula or hand to mix well. The seasoning ingredients created a little crust – yum! On the other hand, you can keep it simple and do just salt and pepper.
Step four: air fry sweet potato slices. Set the air fryer to 350 and set the time to 15 minutes. Lay the seasoned sweet potato slices in the air fryer basket, cook in the air fryer for the specified time, turning halfway. If not perfectly cooked, you can obviously add additional time to finish cooking or perhaps crisp up more.
