This recipe for Loaded Air Fryer Baked Sweet Potatoes offers a quick and delicious way to prepare tender, flavorful sweet potatoes with a creamy yogurt sauce and vibrant toppings. The air fryer cooks the potatoes to perfection with a crispy skin and soft interior, making a wholesome and satisfying side or light meal.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 8 small sweet potatoes or 4 large servings

Ingredients

Sweet Potatoes

  • 8 small sweet potatoes or 4 large, washed and dried
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter

Creamy Yogurt Sauce

  • 4 tbsp Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • ¼ tsp smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp sea salt or salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp dried or fresh green onions, finely chopped if fresh

Toppings

  • Lena’s Kitchen Pickled Onions
  • Fresh radishes, thinly sliced
  • Fresh herbs, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and thoroughly dry the sweet potatoes. Pierce each potato a few times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking. Rub each potato with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt to enhance flavor and crisp the skin.
  2. Air Fry the Sweet Potatoes: Place the prepared sweet potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F (204°C) for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  3. Make the Creamy Yogurt Sauce: While the potatoes cook, mix the Greek yogurt or sour cream with lemon juice, smoked paprika, sea salt, and chopped green onions in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste for a balanced, tangy sauce.
  4. Assemble the Loaded Potatoes: When the sweet potatoes are finished, slice them open lengthwise and gently fluff the insides with a fork. Add a pat of unsalted butter to each potato, then spoon over the creamy yogurt sauce.
  5. Add Toppings and Serve: Top each potato with Lena’s Kitchen Pickled Onions, thinly sliced fresh radishes, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs for brightness and texture. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • If you do not have an air fryer, these sweet potatoes can also be baked in a conventional oven at 425°F (220°C) for 45-60 minutes until soft.
  • Substitute sour cream with full-fat Greek yogurt to lighten the sauce without losing creaminess.
  • Add extra toppings such as crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, or toasted nuts for more texture and flavor complexity.
  • You can prepare the creamy yogurt sauce a day ahead and store it in the refrigerator to save time.
