Ingredients
You will need a couple of sweet potatoes (or one large sweet potato), olive oil, salt, and any additional seasonings of your choice. I used Italian seasoning. Please scroll to the printable recipe card below for the exact measurements.
Instructions
- Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then slice them thinly (about 2-3 mm) using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife. Try to make the slices uniform to ensure even cooking in the air fryer.
- Place the sliced sweet potatoes in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss the slices until they are all coated with the oil, then sprinkle with salt and any other seasonings you prefer. Feel free to include garlic powder, paprika, or cinnamon for a sweeter twist.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F and lightly grease the basket or tray with cooking spray. Arrange the seasoned sweet potato slices in a single layer in the basket, being careful not to overcrowd them. Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking time, until the chips are crispy and golden brown.
4. Once your air fryer sweet potato chips are done cooking, remove them from the basket and let them cool slightly before enjoying. Feel free to experiment with different seasonings to find your favorite flavor combinations. These homemade chips make a perfect snack on their own or served alongside sandwiches or burgers.
Tips and Variations
For the crispiest chips, use a mandoline slicer to slice the sweet potatoes as thinly as possible. Just keep an eye on the cooking time as they’ll need less.
Are Sweet Potatoes healthy? Yes! Sweet potatoes are packed with antioxidants, combat free radicals, reduce inflammation, and contribute to a healthier gut. They’re also lower on the glycemic index, meaning they won’t cause blood sugar levels to spike like regular potatoes. By air-frying, you reduce the calorie count even further compared to traditional frying. Air fryer Sweet potato chips are, indeed, a guilt-free snack.
Pair with the Dip: From the classic hummus to zesty guacamole, the dip you choose can elevate these chips to another level of snacking. Want a sweeter side? Try Homemade Chick-fil-A sauce for an indulgent treat.
How to store: Your air-fried sweet potato chips can last for up to 5 days if stored in an airtight container at room temperature. However, they are at their crispiest immediately after cooling.
Experiment with Flavors: Cinnamon sugar for a sweeter batch, or perhaps a hint of cayenne for some heat. Your taste buds dictate.
Additional Toppings: After cooking, sprinkle some freshly grated parmesan for a savory twist.
