Ingredients:
- 2 large sweet potatoes, washed and peeled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:
- Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the sweet potatoes into thin, even rounds (about 1/8-inch thick).
- Season the Sweet Potatoes:
- In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil, sea salt, smoked paprika, and garlic powder (if using). Ensure each slice is evenly coated.
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Arrange the Slices:
- Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to work in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Air Fry the Chips:
- Air fry the sweet potato slices for 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes to prevent burning. The chips should be crispy and slightly golden brown.
- Cool and Serve:
- Remove the sweet potato chips from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes to crisp up further. Repeat the process with the remaining slices.
- Store:
- If you have leftovers, store the cooled chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Enjoy these Air Fryer Sweet Potato Chips as a delightful and healthy snack that’s perfect for any time of day, offering a satisfying crunch and a burst of natural sweetness.
