Equipment

Air fryer
Chopping Board
sharp knife

Ingredients

1.5 tbsp olive oil
3 sweet potatoes
pinch salt + pepper

Metric - US Customary

Instructions

Firstly, using a sharp knife, slice the sweet potatoes lengthways to produce chip-like shapes.
In a large bowl, add the sliced sweet potatoes, olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper and shake vigorously so that the olive oil is evenly distributed amongst the sweet potatoes.
Then place the sweet potato slices in the air fryer basket evenly (ensure the fries are kept on a single layer and don't overlap) and air fry for 12 minutes at 205C (400F).
Finally, give the chips a shake and air fry again for a further 5 minutes or until cooked

Notes

Step-by-Step Photos: My blog post includes helpful step-by-step photos to help guide you through making this recipe.

Substitutions & Variations: I have included a list of these in the post above.

To Store: Best eaten right out the air fryer. Leftover sweet potato fries can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. The best way to reheat leftover fries is air frying them for another few minutes. You can also add these fries to the freezer and reheat again in the air fryer from frozen in about 5-6 minutes.

To Freeze: I wouldn’t recommend freezing this recipe.

Tip 1: Cut the sweet potato chips into similar size chips so they cook evenly.

Tip 2: Follow the same recipe with white potatoes.

Tip 3: Add extra spices or herbs such as using teaspoon garlic powder, onion powder, or regular paprika are some great places to start!
