Preheat air fryer to 360° Fahrenheit.
While air fryer preheats, wash 2 medium sweet potatoes under running water, scrubbing potatoes with vegetable brush or clean dish towel to remove all surface dirt. After washing potatoes, dry potatoes well with paper towels.
Carefully pierce potatoes on all sides with tines of fork, creating small vent holes all over surfaces of potatoes. Be careful not to push fork tines too deeply into potatoes.
Optional: If desired, rub avocado oil onto sweet potato skins, covering potatoes completely. Sprinkle sea salt onto oiled potatoes.
Place sweet potatoes in air fryer basket and return basket to air fryer. Air fry sweet potatoes approximately 35 minutes.
After 35 minutes, check potatoes by attempting to pierce skins of potatoes with tines of fork. Potatoes are fully-cooked when fork can be easily pushed into potato skins and through to center of potatoes.
If potatoes are not ready after 35 minutes, return basket to air fryer and continue cooking potatoes, checking potatoes with fork every 3 minutes.
Once potatoes are cooked through, carefully remove potatoes from basket and transfer to plates. Gently slice open one side of sweet potatoes with sharp knife, then fluff insides of sweet potatoes with fork.
Serve sweet potatoes hot with preferred toppings.

Oil and salt are optional but add flavor and give the potatoes an extra-crisp skin!
All air fryers yield different results. The first time or two you try this method, pay close attention to the sweet potatoes and adjust your cook time as needed. Check on your sweet potatoes after 30 minutes if yours runs particularly hot.
