Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
Toppings
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F.
- Wash and dry each potato, then poke 4-5 holes, about 1/2" deep, on all sides.
- Place sweet potatoes and avocado oil into a large ziplock bag. Seal the bag and roll the potatoes around inside until they are completely covered in oil.
- Remove sweet potatoes from the bag, then season with salt and place the potatoes into your air fryer basket. Cook at 400 degrees for 30-45 minutes, or until fork tender.
- Once cooked, remove the sweet potatoes from the air fryer and let cool for 5 minutes. Slice each potato open with a knife and use a fork to lightly fluff the insides.
- Top each sweet potato with about 1/2 tablespoon of butter, 1/2 tablespoon of honey, and 1/4 cup of mini marshmallows. Place under the broiler for about 1-2 minutes, or until the marshmallows have softened and are golden brown. Enjoy!
