Directions
Step 1
Preheat air fryer to 180°C.
Step 2
Fry the bacon until crispy and, once cooled, crumble it.
Step 3
Mix all the ingredients for the spicy herb sour cream sauce. Once combined, cover and place in the fridge.

Cover the sweetpotatoes with oil using the spray and sprinkle with salt. Place them in the air fryer and cook for 20 minutes or until tender.

Once the sweetpotatoes are cool enough to handle, slice them in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out most of the flesh, being careful not to break the halves.

Spray the skins with oil again and air fry for 10 to 12 minutes or until they begin to brown and crisp.

Fill the crispy sweetpotato skins with cheddar and parmesan, then top with the crumbled bacon.

Top with chives and serve with the sour cream sauce.
