Sweet Air Fryer Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Easy Roasted Chestnuts & Sweet Potatoes with an Air Fryer
Effortlessly create delicious roasted chestnuts and sweet potatoes right in your air fryer. This guide offers a simple method for achieving perfectly cooked, caramelized treats with a satisfying texture.
Ingredients- 3 medium sweet potatoes
- About 20 fresh chestnuts
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Thoroughly wash the sweet potatoes and gently pat them dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a crispier skin. For the chestnuts, carefully make a deep slit (about 1-2 cm) across the shell of each one using a sharp knife. This crucial step prevents them from exploding during cooking and ensures even heat distribution.
Step 2
Arrange the prepared sweet potatoes and chestnuts in a single layer in your air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t overlap too much for even cooking. You can start cooking immediately without preheating the air fryer. Set the temperature to 200°C (390°F) and cook for 15 minutes.
Step 3
After the initial 15 minutes, carefully open the air fryer, turn the sweet potatoes and chestnuts over. Continue to cook for another 10 minutes at 200°C (390°F). The total cooking time will be around 25 minutes. To check for doneness, gently pierce the sweet potatoes and chestnuts with a skewer or fork; they should yield easily when tender. You’ll see small marks from testing if they’re ready!
Step 4
Your perfectly roasted sweet potatoes and chestnuts made in the air fryer are now ready to be enjoyed! Serve them warm for the best experience. You’ll love the contrast of the slightly chewy skin and the incredibly soft, sweet interior of the sweet potatoes, complemented by the nutty, savory flavor of the roasted chestnuts.
