These Air Fryer Hasselback Sweet Potatoes are a deliciously crispy and tender side dish seasoned with garlic, rosemary, and cumin. Perfect for any meal or gathering, they offer a sophisticated twist on a classic favorite using the convenience of an air fryer.

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Sweet Potatoes

  • 3 medium (1kg or 2 1/2 lbs) sweet potatoes, cleaned

Seasoning Glaze

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, peeled and minced
  • 1 Tbsp fresh rosemary, roughly chopped
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper, to season

Instructions

  1. Prepare the seasoning glaze: In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and ground cumin. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Whisk the mixture until well combined and set it aside while preparing the potatoes.
  2. Cut the sweet potatoes: Slice the sweet potatoes widthways into thin, fan-like cuts about 3mm to 4mm thick without cutting all the way through, allowing the potato to fan out when cooked.
  3. Apply seasoning: Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and generously brush the seasoning glaze over each potato, ensuring the oil gets between the cuts. Leave a little glaze aside for brushing after cooking.
  4. Air fry the potatoes: Arrange the potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding by cooking in batches if needed. Air fry at 400ºF (200ºC) for 25 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of your potatoes, until they are crispy and golden on the outside and tender inside. Check doneness by piercing a knife or fork into the middle through one of the cuts.
  5. Finish and serve: Remove the potatoes from the air fryer and immediately brush the remaining seasoning glaze over them for extra flavor and shine. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Hasselback Sweet Potatoes.

Notes

  • Ensure not to cut all the way through the sweet potatoes to maintain the fan shape.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow even cooking and crispiness.
  • Cooking time varies depending on potato size; larger potatoes may require up to 45 minutes.
  • The recipe can also be baked in a conventional oven at 400°F (200°C) for 50 minutes to 1 hour if you do not have an air fryer.
  • Fresh herbs provide best flavor, but dried rosemary can be used in a pinch.
