Description

Crispy air fryer BBQ sweet potato chips with a low-sugar homemade BBQ seasoning that won't burn.

Ingredients 

Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • Salt, to finish

BBQ seasoning

  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch cayenne, optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar, optional, added after cooking

Instructions

  • Mix the BBQ seasoning in a small bowl.
  • Slice the sweet potatoes into even 1/8-inch rounds with a mandoline or sharp knife.
  • Soak the slices in cold water for 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and pat completely dry.
  • Toss the slices with the oil, then with the BBQ seasoning.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Arrange the slices in a single layer and air fry for 10 to 15 minutes, shaking or flipping every 4 to 5 minutes. Start checking at 8 minutes and remove chips as their edges brown.
  • Cool the chips on a rack for 3 to 5 minutes to crisp. Finish with salt and the optional brown sugar.

Equipment

Notes

Cook in batches; never overlap the slices. Store cooled leftovers airtight at room temperature for up to 2 days and re-crisp at 350°F for 1 to 2 minutes.
