Ingredients

4 medium sweet potatoes scrubbed clean
¼ cup unsalted butter melted
¼ cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup chopped pecans optional

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F.
Slice each sweet potato crosswise at 1/8-inch intervals, stopping about 1/4 inch from the bottom so the potato stays intact.
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper.
Place the sweet potatoes in the air fryer basket. Brush the butter mixture over the potatoes and between the slices.
Air fry for 25–30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender with crisp edges. Halfway through cooking, brush with the remaining butter mixture.
Transfer the sweet potatoes to a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped pecans, if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

For easier slicing, place each sweet potato between two chopsticks or the handles of two wooden spoons. They will help prevent the knife from cutting all the way through.
