These Crunchy Air Fryer Sweet Potato Chips are a healthy snack or party appetizer that are air fried instead of deep fried! They also happen to be vegan, paleo, whole 30 and super delicious! I like to serve these chips with a tasty sauce on the side for dipping!

Equipment

Air Fryer
Mandoline *Optional

Ingredients

1-2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (or oil of choice)
3 medium sweet potatoes (about 16 oz.)
¼ teaspoon salt *to taste
¼ cinnamon
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoon cornstarch

Maple Dijon Aioli

¼ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoon maple syrup
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

Peel and slice your sweet potatoes into very thin slices. Use a mandoline to help achieve thin consistent slices. You want slices a little thinner than ⅛" thick or else your chips wont crisp up. Aim for 1/16". This is 1-2 clicks on my mandoline slicer.
Dry your sweet potatoes fully using paper towels and lay them out on a flat dish or baking sheet.
Add oil, spices, cornstarch and sliced potatoes in a large ziploc bag and shake well until nicely coated.
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F and set your time to 10 minutes.
When ready, add your sweet potato slices to the bottom of the basket. You want your slices to barely overlap. If they overlap too much, they wont get crispy.
No need to flip or toss. Check on them after 8 minutes. If they look too brown, remove them. You can leave in any slices that are not ready for another 1-2 minutes.
While waiting, mix together dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl and chill until ready to eat.
Remove potato chips from fryer and allow to cool in a single layer on a wire rack or paper towels. If any slices are still soggy after 10 minutes, throw them back in the air fryer for 3-5 more minutes. Allow chips to fully cool before serving or storing.

Notes

Get a mandoline for slicing. It is important that your chips are not too thick and this tool does the job in seconds.

You can season your chips however you wish but salt is definitely needed for flavor.

Chips are best the day of but can be stored for 1-3 days in a sealed container.
