Air Fryer Sweet Potato Chips
Crispy, lightly seasoned, and naturally sweet, these air fryer sweet potato chips are a healthier, homemade alternative to store-bought snacks. For the best texture, use a mandoline slicer set to just under 1/8 inch (about 3/32 inch thick).
Ingredients
- 1 medium sweet potato (about 8 oz)
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Cooking spray
Instructions
-
Step 1
Using a mandoline, slice the sweet potato into thin rounds, approximately 1/16 to 3/32 inch thick. Uniform slices ensure even cooking. -
Step 2
Place the slices in a large bowl of cold water and soak for about 20 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and promotes crispiness. -
Step 3
Drain the potato slices and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Wipe out the bowl to reuse. -
Step 4
Return the dry slices to the clean bowl. Add the canola oil, salt, and pepper. Gently toss until all slices are evenly coated. -
Step 5
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray. Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer—do not overcrowd. Work in batches if needed. -
Step 6
Air fry for 12 to 16 minutes, flipping and rearranging the chips every 4 minutes to ensure even cooking. In the final 2–3 minutes, check every 30 seconds and use tongs to remove chips that are golden and crisp to prevent burning. -
Step 7
Let chips cool for about 5 minutes. They will continue to crisp as they cool. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days—if they last that long!
- Pro Tip from Foodicious Recipes
For extra flavor, try sprinkling your chips with smoked paprika, garlic powder, or a dash of cayenne before air frying.
