Ingredients

1-4 sweet potatoes scrubbed clean and patted dry
1 teaspoon oil

Hot Honey Butter

4 Tablespoon unsalted butter
1 Tablespoon Honey
2 teaspoon hot sauce
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Coat sweet potatoes with oil and place in the air fryer basket.
Cook on 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 35-40 minutes until the sweet potatoes are soft on the inside.

Hot Honey Butter

While your sweet potatoes are cooking, combine butter, honey, hot sauce, and salt in a bowl and whisk vigorously until combined and smooth.
Cut open your sweet potato, fluff the insides a little, and then top it with this butter.

Notes

I use Texas Pete or Frank’s Hot Sauce for my hot honey butter.
You can make 1-4 sweet potatoes at a time, depending on your air fryer basket. Just make sure the sweet potatoes aren’t overlapping so proper air circulation can cook them properly.
The cook time suggested is for medium-sized sweet potatoes. Smaller sweet potatoes will need less time while large potatoes will need more. For smaller potatoes, I start to check with a toothpick around 25 minutes.
