Top with the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Adjust the amounts to your personal preference. Serve immediately and enjoy! (Approximately 2 minutes)
For a richer flavor, try using maple syrup instead of brown sugar.
A sprinkle of sea salt after baking enhances the sweetness.
If you like a crispy skin, you can brush the sweet potato with a little extra olive oil before air frying.
Consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the cinnamon for a more complex spice profile.
Leftover baked sweet potato can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or microwave.
