These crispy air fryer sweet potato chips are thin, crunchy, and lightly dusted with a warm cinnamon sugar blend, making a quick and satisfying snack that’s perfect for kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large or 3 medium sweet potatoes, medium-sized and firm
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or coconut sugar for less refined option)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes using a vegetable peeler. You may leave the skin on for extra texture and nutrients if desired.
  2. Slice the sweet potatoes thinly (about 1/16 inch or 1.5 mm) using a mandoline slicer for even thickness.
  3. Soak the slices in a bowl of cold water for 15-20 minutes to remove excess starch.
  4. Drain and pat the slices completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  5. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3 minutes.
  6. Toss the sweet potato slices lightly with 1 tablespoon of oil in a dry bowl, coating evenly but not drenched.
  7. Arrange the slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping; cook in batches if necessary.
  8. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes, flipping the chips halfway through (around 5 minutes) using tongs for even browning.
  9. While chips cook, mix 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl to make the cinnamon sugar dust.
  10. Remove the chips when golden and crispy, transfer to a cooling rack or parchment-lined plate.
  11. While still warm, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar dust evenly over the chips to allow it to stick.
  12. Repeat the cooking and dusting process with remaining slices.

Notes

For best crispiness, slice sweet potatoes uniformly thin (1/16 inch). Soak slices in cold water to remove starch and pat dry thoroughly. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to prevent steaming. Flip chips halfway through cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days and reheat in air fryer for 2-3 minutes to refresh crispiness. Variations include adding cayenne or smoked paprika for spice, or making a savory version with garlic powder and rosemary.
