Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Wash and dry the sweet potatoes well. Do not peel them.
- Slice the sweet potatoes very thinly, aiming for 1/16 inch thickness. Use a mandoline slicer for best results.
- Soak the sliced sweet potatoes in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes. This removes excess starch and helps them crisp up.
- Drain the water and thoroughly pat the slices dry with paper towels. They must be completely dry before cooking.
- In a bowl, toss the dry slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the seasoned slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Air fry for 10 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes, until the chips are golden brown and crisp. Cooking time varies by air fryer model.
- Remove from the air fryer and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. They will crisp up more as they cool.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can soak the slices for up to an hour.
- If you do not have an air fryer, you can use the oven method: Spread slices on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- You can substitute the seasoning with smoked paprika or chili powder for a different flavor profile.
- These chips are a great alternative when considering healthy snack options compared to traditional meal planning snacks.
