Why Sweet Potatoes Are Healthy

Sweet potatoes are one of the most nutritious foods you can eat. Yes, they are sweet, but naturally sweet and high in several essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin C and vitamin B6, which are both important for the brain and nervous system. They are also loaded with vitamin A. Many people consider sweet potatoes to be a superfood.

How To Make Sweet Potato Chips in the Air Fryer

This recipe is so quick and easy to make. You only need a small handful of simple all natural ingredients to make these air fried sweet potato chips. This is what you will need:

  • 1 Sweet Potato
  • Olive Oil or Vegetable Oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Once you have your ingredients, start by washing the sweet potato and cutting the ends off. You can leave the sweet potato unpeeled like I do or peel it if you prefer. And if your sweet potato is large you will need to cut it in half longways. Then use a sharp knife to thinly slice. The thinner you slice the potato the better for crispier chips.

Next, add the sliced sweet potato to a large bowl. Then drizzle with a little olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper to season, and toss together to coat the sweet potato with the oil and seasonings. You want to make sure every chip is evenly coated for the best flavor. I kept mine simple using just salt and pepper, but you can use any seasoning you like on the chips.

Now to cook, put the coated sliced sweet potato into the air fryer basket and place in air fryer to cook at 350 degrees fahrenheit for 15 minutes. Then at halfway through cooking remove the air fryer basket and flip the chips over using a spatula. Flipping the chips helps them to evenly cook and come out perfectly crisp and crunchy. Then put the basket back into the air fryer to finish cooking.

After the chips are done cooking, remove them from the air fryer basket and put them on a plate for 5 to 10 minutes to cool and crisp up even more. Cooled chips have a wonderful delicious crunch and are worth the wait.

Once cooled down the sweet potato chips are ready to eat! They are wonderful fresh out the air fryer and even better with a yummy dip like my keto bacon cheddar dip or smoked salmon cream cheese dip.

Air Fryer Sweet Potato Chip Variations

These sweet potato chips cooked in the air fryer are fantastic seasoned with just simple salt and pepper, but you can use any seasoning you like to craft your own flavor combination. For example, using cinnamon with a dash of salt would make a lovely savory sweet chip. A sprinkle of smoked paprika would be amazing too. And if you like spicy foods adding some cayenne pepper or ground chipotle would be perfect. The options are endless!

Instructions

  • Wash your sweet potato and then cut off the ends. I leave mine unpeeled, but you can peel your sweet potato if you prefer. Next, if your sweet potato is large you will need to cut it in half longways, but if using a smaller potato there is no need. Now, use a knife to slice the sweet potato as thin as possible.
  • Add the thinly sliced raw sweet potato chips to a large bowl. Then drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Now, toss together until the sliced sweet potato is evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
  • Put the coated sweet potato chips into the air fryer basket. Then put the basket into the air fryer and cook the chips at 350°F for 15 minutes. After halfway through the cooking time remove the air fryer basket and flip over the chips with a spatula to ensure the chips evenly cook. Then put the basket back into the air fryer and let the chips finish cooking.
  • When done, remove the chips from the air fryer and place on a plate to allow them to cool down for 5 to 10 minutes to get even crispier.
  • Once cool, transfer the chips to your dish of choice and enjoy!

    These were great! I had to add 4min, but maybe my tray was too full. Would sprinkling ranch dressing on work? Or is that something maybe to shake on after?
