Yield: 6–8 slices

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cooking Time: 8 minutes

Total Time: 13 minutes

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 small sweet potato, cut into ⅜-inch slices
• Oil for misting
• Ground cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS::

1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Begin by preheating your air fryer to 390°F (200°C). This will ensure that your sweet potato slices cook evenly and efficiently.
2. Prepare the Sweet Potato: Take your small sweet potato and cut it into slices that are approximately ⅜-inch thick. These slices will be the foundation of your delicious sweet potato-cinnamon toast.
3. Mist with Oil: To prevent the sweet potato slices from sticking to the air fryer basket and to help achieve a crispy texture, mist both sides of the slices with oil. This will also aid in the browning process.
4. Add Flavor: Enhance the flavor of your sweet potato-cinnamon toast by sprinkling ground cinnamon onto both sides of the slices. The aromatic warmth of cinnamon will complement the natural sweetness of the sweet potato.
5. Arrange in the Air Fryer: Lay the prepared sweet potato slices in a single layer within the air fryer basket. This will allow for even cooking and uniform browning.
6. Cooking Process: Cook the sweet potato slices for 4 minutes, ensuring they are placed in a single layer. After this initial cook time, turn the slices over to ensure even cooking on both sides. Continue cooking for an additional 4 minutes.
7. Check for Doneness: To determine if the sweet potato slices are ready, check their tenderness with a fork. They should be just barely fork-tender, retaining a slight bite while being fully cooked through.
