Make crunchy, guilt-free sweet potato chips using your air fryer. This recipe focuses on achieving maximum crispness for a healthy snack that is ready fast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Slice the sweet potatoes very thinly, aiming for 1/16 inch thickness. A mandoline slicer works best for uniform slices.
  2. Soak the sliced sweet potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This removes excess starch, which helps them crisp up.
  3. Drain the sweet potatoes completely and pat them very dry using paper towels or a clean kitchen cloth. Moisture prevents crisping.
  4. In a bowl, toss the dry slices with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  5. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  6. Place the seasoned sweet potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket; work in batches if necessary.
  7. Air fry for 10 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes. Watch closely after the 10-minute mark, as they can burn quickly.
  8. Remove when the chips are golden brown and firm to the touch. They will crisp up more as they cool.
  9. Serve immediately or let cool completely for maximum crunch.

Notes

  • For extra crispness, you can toss the dried slices with 1 teaspoon of cornstarch before adding the oil and seasonings.
  • These chips are sturdy enough for dipping in hummus or guacamole.
  • If you do not have an air fryer, you can bake them on a baking sheet at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
