Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 medium sweet potatoes
Oils:
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
Seasonings:
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Thoroughly cleanse sweet potatoes under running water, using a vegetable brush to remove any dirt or debris. Pat completely dry with a clean kitchen towel to ensure optimal crispiness.
- Using a mandolin slicer or sharp kitchen knife, carefully slice sweet potatoes into uniform 1/8-inch (0.32 centimeters) thin rounds, maintaining consistent thickness for even cooking.
- Transfer potato slices to a spacious mixing bowl. Drizzle with 1 to of olive oil, then sprinkle with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Gently toss to ensure each slice is evenly coated with seasoning.
- Power on the air fryer and preheat to 360 degrees Fahrenheit (182 degrees Celsius) for approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Arrange potato slices in a single layer within the air fryer basket, ensuring minimal overlap to promote proper air circulation and prevent soggy chips.
- Cook for 5-7 minutes, pausing every 2 minutes to rotate and check chip doneness. Remove crispy chips immediately to prevent burning.
- Continue cooking remaining potato slices in batches until all are golden and crisp.
- Transfer cooked chips to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil and allow cooling. Chips will continue to crisp as they cool.
- Serve warm with ketchup, ranch dressing, or preferred dipping sauce for a delightful snack.
