Air-Fryer Sweet Potato Chips

Be the first to rate & review!

Thinly sliced sweet potatoes fry to a crispy crunch in the air fryer. These homemade chips also use much less oil, which cuts down on calories and fat. They're a naturally sweet side for sandwiches, burgers, wraps and more.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium sweet potato, (about 8 ounces), sliced into 1/8-inch-thick rounds

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil

  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper

Directions

  1. Place sweet potato slices in a large bowl of cold water; soak for 20 minutes. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.

  2. Return the sweet potatoes to the dried bowl. Add oil, salt and pepper; toss gently to coat.

  3. Lightly coat air-fryer basket with cooking spray. Place just enough of the sweet potatoes in the basket to form a single layer. Cook at 350 degrees F until cooked through and crispy, about 15 minutes, flipping and rearranging into a single layer every 5 minutes. Using tongs, carefully remove the chips from the air fryer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining sweet potatoes.

  4. Let the chips cool for 5 minutes; serve immediately or cool completely and store in an airtight plastic container for up to 3 days.

Tips

To make ahead: Store in an airtight plastic container for up to 3 days

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)

(-) Information is not currently available for this nutrient. If you are following a special diet for medical reasons, be sure to consult with your primary care provider or a registered dietitian to better understand your personal nutrition needs.
