Ingredients
- 4 small sweet potatoes - **unpeeled, scrubbed, rinsed & drained well.
- 3 tablespoon olive oil - **use extra light or light olive oil.
- ½ teaspoon crushed black pepper
- ½ teaspoon parsley - **use dried parsley.
- salt to taste - **we used sea salt. Add salt according to your own personal taste preference.
Instructions
Prep sweet potatoes
- Scrub the whole unpeeled sweet potatoes very well, rinse them under running tap water, drain them and pat them dry completely with the help of kitchen towels.
Slice sweet potatoes
- Place a sweet potato on the chopping board. Place two chopsticks on either side of the sweet potato. Hold the potato tight and Make a series of ⅛-inch or ¼ inch slices along each potato, stopping ½ inch from the bottom. The chopsticks would keep the sweet potato in place, act as a preventive guard and help prevent slicing the the sweet potatoes all the way down. Repeat this step until you are done slicing all the sweet potatoes.
Air fry
- Pre-heat the air fryer at 370 degrees F. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil spray. Place the hasselback sweet potatoes inside the air fryer basket in a single layer. Keep enough space inbetween the potatoes. Do not over crowd them.
- Brush a generous amount of olive oil on the potatoes. Air fry for 30 mins at 370 F.
- In the remaining olive oil add dried parsley and mix well. Once the cook time is over brush more olive oil + dried parsley mixture, sprinkle sea salt. Gently run a fork on top of the potatoes to fan the slices and separate them from each other. Air fry again at 370 F for 20-25 mins. You'll have potatoes with tender insides and crispy outsides.
