Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- Avocado oil spray or olive oil
- Sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes, then pat them dry. Slice each one in half lengthwise so you have two even halves.2 medium sweet potatoes
- Lightly spray or rub the cut side of each sweet potato with oil. Sprinkle with sea salt, making sure it’s evenly coated.Avocado oil spray, Sea salt
- Place the sweet potatoes cut side down on the baking sheet or in your air fryer basket. Roast for 25–30 minutes, depending on size, until the sweet potatoes are fork tender and the cut side is nicely caramelized.
- Flip the sweet potatoes over and let them cool slightly before serving. Add your favorite toppings or enjoy as is.
Notes
- Use similar-sized potatoes: This helps them cook evenly so you don’t end up with some overdone and some undercooked.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan: Give the potatoes space so they roast instead of steam.
- Adjust cook time as needed: Smaller potatoes will cook faster, while larger ones may need a few extra minutes.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4–5 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 375°F to bring back those crispy edges.
