Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Sweet Potato: Using a mandoline, carefully slice the sweet potato into rounds slightly thicker than 1/16 inch (approximately 3/32 inch). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Soak and Dry: Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 20 minutes. This removes excess starch for optimal crispness. Drain well and thoroughly pat dry with paper towels. Ensure the bowl is also dried. (25 minutes)

03

Step

Season the Chips: Return the dried sweet potato slices to the bowl. Drizzle with canola oil, sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Gently toss to evenly coat each slice. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Air Fry: Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single, even layer in the basket, ensuring not to overcrowd. You may need to work in batches. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Cook to Perfection: Air fry for 12 to 16 minutes, flipping and rearranging the chips every 4 minutes to ensure even cooking. During the final 2 to 3 minutes, closely monitor the chips, removing any that are golden brown to prevent burning. (16 minutes)

06

Step

Cool and Crisp: Transfer the air-fried sweet potato chips to a wire rack and let them cool for about 5 minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Serve: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain their crispness.

For the crispiest chips, ensure the sweet potato slices are as dry as possible before air frying.
Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches for even cooking and maximum crispiness.
Adjust cooking time based on your air fryer model; watch closely during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
A light sprinkle of smoked paprika or a dash of cayenne pepper can add a delightful twist to the flavor profile.
Store the cooked chips in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crispness.
