Air Fryer Sweet Potato Chips (Printable Version)

Crispy, savory sweet potato chips from the air fryer make a wholesome snack with satisfying crunch.

# What You'll Need:

→ Chips

01 - 2 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

→ Optional Seasoning

04 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - Pinch cayenne pepper

# Directions:

01 - Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, cut sweet potatoes into very thin rounds (about 1/8 inch or thinner).
02 - Pat sweet potato slices thoroughly dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
03 - Place sweet potato slices in a large mixing bowl. Toss with olive oil, sea salt, and any optional seasonings until evenly coated.
04 - Heat air fryer to 350°F for 3 minutes.
05 - Arrange seasoned sweet potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap. Work in batches if necessary.
06 - Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking. Watch closely near the end and remove chips when crisp and golden.
07 - Transfer finished chips to a plate and allow to cool slightly for maximum crispiness. Repeat with remaining batches. Store fully cooled chips in an airtight container.
