- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Use your hands until they are evenly coated in oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and toss to coat the sweet potatoes evenly.
- If they are medium to large sweet potatoes poke them with a fork.
- Bake the sweet potatoes in the oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring them once or twice during cooking, until they are tender and caramelized on the outside.

- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F and wash and scrub your sweet potatoes under running water. Pat dry with a towel.
- Rub the sweet potatoes with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Place the sweet potatoes in the air fryer, making sure they don't touch each other. f they are medium to large sweet potatoes, poke them with a fork.
- Cook for 20-25 minutes, depending on the size of the sweet potatoes. Flip them over halfway through the cooking time. Check for doneness by inserting a fork into the thickest part of the sweet potatoes. If they are cooked through, the fork will slide in easily.
