Equipment

- bowl
- Cooking spray
- spatula or tongs
- Small Bowls
- Paper Towels or Kitchen Towel
Ingredients
- 1 large 1 large sweet potato (about 8 ounces)
- 1 tbsp 1 tablespoon of canola oil:
- 1/4 tsp 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt:
- 1/4 tsp teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
- Cooking spray
Notes
1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for a few minutes to ensure it reaches the desired temperature.
2. Wash and scrub the sweet potato thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. No need to peel the sweet potato, as the skin adds extra texture and nutrients.
3. Using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer, carefully slice the sweet potato into thin, uniform rounds. Aim for a thickness of around 1/8 inch for evenly cooked chips.
4. Place the sweet potato slices in a bowl and drizzle them with canola oil. Toss the slices gently to ensure they are coated evenly with the oil.
5. In a separate small bowl, mix together the sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
6. Sprinkle the salt and pepper mixture over the sweet potato slices, tossing them again to evenly distribute the seasonings.
7. Lightly coat the air fryer basket or tray with cooking spray to prevent the chips from sticking.
8. Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket or on the tray, making sure they do not overlap. You may need to cook the chips in multiple batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
9. Place the basket or tray in the preheated air fryer and cook the chips for about 10-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Keep a close eye on them as cooking times may vary based on the thickness of the slices and the specific model of your air fryer.
10. Once the chips turn golden brown and become crispy, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
11. Repeat the process with any remaining sweet potato slices until all the chips are cooked.
12. Serve the air fryer sweet potato chips as a delicious and nutritious snack option. They can be enjoyed on their own or paired with your favorite dip or salsa.
These air fryer sweet potato chips are a fantastic way to satisfy your cravings for a crunchy snack while keeping things healthier. Feel free to experiment with different seasonings and spices to customize the flavor to your liking. Enjoy the crispy goodness!
