Air Fryer Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

If you love sweet potatoes, you are going to want to try these! Made in the air fryer with just olive oil and sea salt, they turn out soft, tender and full of flavour. But what makes these extra special is how you serve them!

Isabella has been asking me to make these for literally months, and we finally got around to it. After a little experimenting, I think we’ve perfected them! The beauty of this recipe is how simple it is. No complicated ingredients, no fancy preparation and no need to turn on your oven. The air fryer takes care of the cooking, leaving you with perfectly cooked sweet potatoes that are ready for all your favourite toppings.

Now, here’s where things get a little different from your traditional baked potato. Instead of slicing the sweet potato down the middle, you hold it upright and pop the top off with your hands. Then you take a stick of Havarti cheese and push it right into the centre. Add a generous spoonful of sour cream and you’re ready to dig in! There’s no need for a knife and fork. These are meant to be picked up and enjoyed, a little mess and all!

We love ours with Havarti and sour cream, but you can certainly add your favourite toppings. They’re perfect for lunch, an easy dinner or a delicious side dish. And after all those months of Isabella asking, I can confidently say these were worth the wait! Give my recipe a try!

INGREDIENTS:

• Sweet potatoes

• Olive oil

• Sea salt

• Havarti cheese, cut into sticks

• Sour cream (optional)

• Additional toppings of your choice

STEPS:

1. Wash the sweet potatoes: Rinse your sweet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry.

2. Season: Rub each sweet potato all over with olive oil. Sprinkle generously with sea salt, making sure they’re evenly coated.

3. Arrange in the air fryer: Place the sweet potatoes in the air fryer basket, leaving a little room between them.

4. Air fry: Cook at 390°F for approximately 55 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cooking time will depend on the size and thickness of your sweet potatoes.

5. Let them rest: Once the cooking time is complete, leave the sweet potatoes sitting inside the air fryer for another 30–60 minutes. This allows them to cool down before handling.

6. Prepare the sweet potatoes: Hold each sweet potato upright and use your hands to pop off the top.

7. Add the Havarti: Take a stick of Havarti and push it right into the centre of the sweet potato.

8. Add your toppings: Finish with a generous dollop of sour cream and any other toppings you love.

9. Enjoy! Bon appétit! Pick it up and dig in! No knife and fork needed.
