Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (sliced into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or avocado oil for a vegan-friendly variation)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Optional Spices and Seasonings

  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Optional for variations: cayenne pepper or chili powder for spice, brown sugar for sweetness, dried rosemary or thyme for herb flavor, nutritional yeast for low-sodium umami

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel your sweet potatoes for smooth, uniform chips. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice them into thin, even rounds approximately 1/8 inch thick to ensure crispiness without burning.
  2. Toss with Oil and Seasonings: In a large bowl, gently toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil to coat evenly. Sprinkle salt and any preferred optional spices, stirring until each slice is lightly and evenly seasoned.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat. This ensures the chips develop an initial crisp as soon as they hit the basket.
  4. Cook in Batches: Arrange the slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Cook for 10–15 minutes, shaking or flipping halfway through to promote even crisping. Watch carefully in the last few minutes to prevent burning.
  5. Cool and Serve: Transfer the golden, crispy chips to a cooling rack or paper towels to remove excess moisture. Serve immediately for the best crunch or store properly for later snacking.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline slicer for consistent, thin slices to ensure even cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation and crisping; cook in batches if necessary.
  • Shake or flip the chips halfway through cooking to achieve crispness on all sides.
  • Keep a close eye near the end of cooking to avoid burning, as chips can go from perfect to burnt quickly.
  • Let chips cool outside the air fryer basket to lock in their crunch.
  • Store leftovers at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days; avoid refrigeration to prevent sogginess.
  • Reheat chips in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3–5 minutes to restore crispiness.
