Why you will love sweet potatoes in the air fryer!
Sweet potatoes are pretty delicious on their own, but there are so many ways to flavor them as well!
We chose savory ingredients, making it the perfect side dish recipe complementing chicken and steak.
But the sweet potato tastes excellent with many flavor combinations like a dash of cayenne, a little chili powder, or famously sweet topped with brown sugar or honey.
Another popular way to enjoy a sweet potato recipe with savory flavors is by adding Italian seasoning, Parmesan cheese, fresh rosemary, or fresh herbs. It is all about personal preference!
This tasty little side dish recipe makes air frying worth it, and the potatoes have the perfect texture!
