Ingredients
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to approximately 320°F (160°C).
- Slice the sweet potatoes into thin rounds or chips. The thinner you slice them, the crispier the chips will be.

Place the baking sheet or basket in the air fryer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chips turn golden and crispy. Check on them occasionally and stir if needed to ensure even cooking.
- Once the chips are done, carefully take them out of the air fryer and generously sprinkle them with salt and pepper to taste. Gently toss to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
- Allow the chips to cool slightly before serving to achieve maximum crispness. Serve the homemade air fryer sweet potato chips as a healthy alternative to regular chips.
- Don't hesitate to personalize the seasonings based on your preferences. Enjoy!
