[Japanese Recipes] Air Fryer Baked Sweet Potato with Miso Butter

Bake a whole sweet potato in the air fryer for a sweet and savory roasted flavor. Top it off with a delicious umami flavored miso butter.

We love sweet potatoes of all varieties and have tried Japanese purple, Garnets, Beauregard, Jewels, and Korean purple. It’s been my favorite snack while on the whole 30 program and the kids love eating them as well. It’s so easy to make them in the air fryer too.

WHY AIR FRY POTATOES?

Air fryer baked sweet potatoes don’t require heating up the whole oven and kitchen.
Get the delicious roasted flavor of a baked sweet potato with crispy skin in the air fryer versus using a microwave.
It’s convenient – air fry a whole sweet potato for an easy snack or appetizer.
Cooking in the air fryer frees up your oven for other main dishes.

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the air fryer to 400 Fahrenheit for 5 minutes. Wash and scrub three medium sized sweet potatoes. Use a fork to pierce the potatoes – 3 times on both sides.

Place the sweet potatoes in a single layer in the fryer basket. Air fry the whole sweet potato for about 40 minutes.

While the potatoes are air frying, make the miso butter. Add miso to softened butter. Cream together with a mixer or fork until well incorporated. Place the miso butter on a plastic wrap, fold the plastic wrap over and form a log shape, then roll it up tightly. Make sure to squeeze out air bubbles from the butter. Refrigerate until ready to eat.

TO SERVE

Serve these air fryer whole sweet potato with the delicious miso butter and garnish with chives. Enjoy while they’re hot!

TIPS

Make sure your air fryer basket is clean and grease-free before cooking. This will prevent any oil and crumbs from burning and smoking.

If you’re on the Whole30 program, remove the miso butter.

My air fryer has a 4 quart capacity and will fit three medium sized potatoes comfortably. Different air fryer basket sizes may fit less or more potatoes.

Cooking time may vary depending on the size of your potatoes.
