Now, I have to admit something before we start. Although I enjoy sweet potatoes any day, I strongly prefer many other types of potatoes, even the common russet. On the other hand, Jon often asks for sweet potatoes instead of the potatoes we get with our meals. For home, it's comfort food.

That is why when I decided on the next recipe using our Cosori air fryer, I decided to make this air fryer sweet potato recipe for Jon. Quite honestly, I loved this as well.

I love how Cosori takes a great thing and makes it much better without the excess fat! This air fryer sweet potato recipe gave us a crunchy exterior while letting us enjoy the delicious, soft interior.

This Cosori air fryer sweet potato recipe is great as a side dish or a whole meal, depending on your mood.

If you’re considering using it as a side dish, choose smaller sweet potatoes. In contrast, if you intend for this to be a complete meal, you’d probably want to opt for larger sweet potatoes.

You’d also appreciate it if you could easily adapt this recipe to suit a vegan diet. The sweet potato is topped with Greek yogurt and some fresh herbs. If you are catering to a vegan diet, you may choose vegan cheese or coconut yogurt, which both pair well.

You might want to add some air-fried bacon topping for non-vegan or vegetarian diets! You can experiment as you see fit.

This Cosori sweet potato is versatile enough to easily include your favourite additions. Preparation time is minimal: 40 minutes at most. While preparing the sweet potatoes, don’t forget to preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes.

Let’s get started with this recipe!

Ingredients

3 medium to large sweet potatoes or 6 small sweet potatoes

3 tbsp Greek yoghurt

5 tsp olive oil

250g cheddar cheese

1 tbsp chopped rosemary

1 tbsp chopped thyme

2 pinches of salt

1 pinch of pepper

Pinch of garlic powder

Method

1. Preheat the air fryer using the preheat function for 5 minutes.

2. Properly clean the sweet potatoes under a tap and scrub properly. Lightly pat the sweet potatoes.

3. Pierce the sweet potato with a fork approximately an inch apart.

4. Mix 3 teaspoons of olive oil, a pinch of salt, pepper, garlic powder, rosemary and thyme in a small bowl.

5. Brush (we used a pastry brush) the sweet potatoes with the olive oil and herb mix.

6. Place the sweet potatoes in the preheated air fryer basket.

7. Air fry the sweet potatoes at 200oC for 20 minutes on both sides (40 minutes total).

8. Test the sweet potatoes with a knife or fork. They should be soft inside. You might need to air fry longer to get the crunchy, golden exterior and smooth interior.

9. Using tongs, place the air-fried sweet potatoes onto a board. After cooling for 10 minutes, slice the sweet potato in half.

10. Scoop out the insides and mash thoroughly.

11. Add any toppings. We added olive oil and salt.

12. Fill the sweet potatoes with the filling, and place the grated cheddar cheese on top.

13. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil. Place the sweet potatoes back into the basket and air fry for a few minutes until the filling is hot and the exterior is crispy.

14. Plate and serve with a tablespoon of Greek yoghurt and dill.

Set at 180oC and cook for about 3 minutes. They are best reheated without the Greek yogurt topping.

This recipe is excellent for anyone who enjoys sweet potatoes and appreciates a crispy exterior. Although leftovers are rare for this air-fryer sweet potatoes recipe, you can easily reheat them in the air fryer if you have any.
