Sweet Potato Egg Bites

1 . Stage

Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees F (188 degrees C). Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.

2 . Stage

Combine sweet potato, coconut oil, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a small mixing bowl. Massage the oil and seasonings into the potatoes and transfer to the prepared basket.

3 . Stage

Air-fry until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes, tossing halfway through to ensure even cooking. The exact amount of time will depend on the size of the cubes. Remove the basket and allow potatoes to cool.

4 . Stage

While the sweet potatoes are cooling, combine eggs, cottage cheese, liquid egg whites, half-and-half, vanilla, sugar substitute, and a pinch of salt in a blender. Blend on high until well-mixed and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes.

5 . Stage

Spray a 7-compartment silicone egg bite mold with cooking spray. Scoop 1 tablespoon sweet potatoes into each compartment and pour egg mixture over top, leaving a little bit of space for expansion. Cover the mold with aluminum foil.

7 . Stage

Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, for 5 minutes, then release remaining pressure using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes more. Unlock and remove the lid.
