Why this recipe works
A knife should slide easily into the centre
Two similarly thick tubers of about 250 g each are more evenly finished than one very wide and one narrow. The shell may remain on if it is clean and undamaged. The four halves need space next to each other in the basket. In a smaller device, additional passes are required. The recipe contains no more salad, meat and cheese.

Recipe
Air fryer sweet potato halves with yogurt
Two medium-sized sweet potatoes cook on the cut surface and are served with cool parsley yogurt. Its thickness is crucial, not just the weight.
Ingredients
2 servings
Method
-
1
Halve the sweet potatoes
Brush off sweet potatoes thoroughly, remove damaged areas and dry. Halve lengthwise, cut surfaces flat in the dish of a diamond and rub in with oil, 2 g salt and pepper.
-
2
Start with the cut side down
Preheat for 3 minutes to 180 °C if necessary. Put halves in the basket with distance and cut surface down. Cook for about 20 minutes at 180 °C without stacking them.
-
3
Turn and cook until tender
Turn halves and cook for another 10 minutes at 180 °C. A small knife has to glide easily into the thickest center. If necessary, extend the time; large tubers can take considerably longer.
-
4
Mix the dip and serve
Mix yoghurt, lemon juice, parsley and remaining salt during cooking. Distribute or add separately on the finished halves. Two halves each with half of the dip give a light portion.
