This delicious appetizer is perfectly sweet and salty. Brush them with butter mixed with cayenne pepper if you want them to have a spicy kick.

Tips for making Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Sweet Potato Rounds

Don’t use thick cut bacon. Regular bacon works best.

Cut the sweet potatoes into about 1/2-inch slices. You want them thick enough that it is easy to wrap the bacon around them. They only need about 12 minutes in the Air Fryer. This is plenty of time to get the bacon crispy and the sweet potatoes soft.

After 10 minutes, I like to brush the tops of the sweet potatoes with a mixture of melted butter, paprika, and cayenne pepper. But you can just skip this step or brush them with butter only if you don’t want them spicy.

Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Sweet Potato Rounds are both Paleo and Keto-friendly.  I love that this recipe only requires a handful of ingredients and is super easy to make.
