    The ultimate sweet potato side dish, this Ruth Chris sweet potato casserole copycat is an air fryer version and is a prepared with a deep golden color, crunchy topping and aromatic.

    This is the type of side dish you’d want to have at the next holiday table to serve alongside your favorite meals.

    Air Fryer Sweet Potato

    This vibrant and tasty root vegetable is such a versatile ingredient. If you read my yellow yams post, you’ll know that this is also a tuber vegetable. It is often confused with yams. 

    This vegetable is packed with a whole lot of nutritional benefits and is rich in vitamins C and B6 and packed with potassium and magnesium. 

    This irresistible vegetable pairs well with savory foods, protein, and salads.

    Since trying this recipe at Ruth Chris, I knew this had to become a must side dish for Thanksgiving and during the holidays. Even better, this casserole is baked in the air fryer, while the oven is occupied with other scrumptious dishes. 

    • sweet potatoes topped with crumbles

    Just like the oven baked sweet potato casserole, this version also includes boiling the potatoes first, after half an hour to 40 minutes, or when you can prick the sweet potatoes easily with a fork, let them cool slightly and you will be able to peel the skin off easily with your hands. 

    Since this is prepared in the air fryer, be sure to make sure not to overcook them, or you could end up with a watery sweet potato casserole.

    TIPS FOR RUTH’S CHRIS SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

    • sweet potato topped with pecans and raisins in white dish
    • At Ruth Chris restaurant, chopped pecans are used. I find that walnuts also work well as a topping. 
    • You can prepare this air fryer Sweet Potato Casserole a couple of days in advance. Just make your sweet potato mix, add it to the dish and cover it in saran wrap to keep in the refrigerator for up to a couple of days before serving. At the same time, prepare your topping ingredients and keep them in the refrigerator in a ziploc bag, adding to the top of your casserole just before baking.
