- 1 cup yogurt
- 1/3 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp dry basil
Step-by-step Guide:
1 – Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Pierce the sweet potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape while cooking.

2 – Place the seasoned sweet potato in the air fryer basket.
3 – Cook the sweet potato in the air fryer for 30-40 minutes, or until it is tender and the skin is crispy.
4 – Once the sweet potato is cooked, carefully remove it from the air fryer and let it cool for a few minutes.
5 – Cut the sweet potato in half lengthwise, creating two “jackets.”
6 – Serve the sweet potato jackets with a dollop of the Greek yogurt topping on top.
7 – Garnish with salt, pepper and dry basil, if desired. Enjoy!
Pro Tips for Success:
- Adjust the cooking time depending on the size of your sweet potato. Larger ones may need a few extra minutes to cook through.
- Try flavored Greek yogurt for a unique twist! Adding a bit of garlic or herb-flavored yogurt can enhance the dish even more.
- Top with additional toppings like crumbled feta, chopped green onions, or a drizzle of honey to make it even more festive!
