- First, peel the sweet potatoes and using a mandolin, slice the sweet potatoes to ¼ of an inch thickness.

- Once arranged, make the syrup by melting the butter in a saucepan over low heat.
- Next, add the light brown sugar, spices, salt and lemon juice. Stir until the syrup thickens to a sauce-like consistency.
- When ready, drizzle the sauce over the potatoes making sure that all slices are fully covered in the sauce.
- Finally, place the basket in the air fryer and air fry for 10 minutes at 300 F.

Notes
We use a 6 inch pan, but if that does not fit your air fryer, you can adjust the size as needed. You may need to adjust the time just slightly if you use a bigger or smaller pan.Make sure to have the syrup cover all the yams. If you make a bigger batch, just make sure to adjust the syrup size accordingly!Serve with your favorite main dishes, for Thanksgiving, or any other holiday you celebrate this coming season!
