Air Fryer Sweet Potato Chips

 A fun lunch side is always a plate of homemade chips. Amp it up with sweet potatoes. These are a different spin and are even healthier, especially when fried in the air fryer.

The hardest part is slicing the potatoes. Sweet potatoes are just as solid and woody as their tuber cousins.

I should have used my mandolin to get thin slices but I wanted something a bit more meatier. One sweet potato is enough. it yielded about ten slices which is perfect for two people for lunch. The slices were uneven but cooked up pretty much all the same.

It's then tossing the slices in a mix of olive oil, oregano , salt and pepper.

  You can use any herb such as rosemary or dill but I felt oregano had more oomph than any of these.

The slices were well coated and then put into the air fryer for eight minutes at 400 degrees F.  I then turned them over to make sure they were evenly cooked.

Again the sweet potato is woody so it required more cooking. I put them in for another eight minutes , again at 400 degrees F.

The end result a crispy tasty chip, flavored with oregano.Next time I think I'll add a sprinkle of vegan Parmesan . You can also add some garlic powder for a savory taste or brown sugar for a sweet one. You can make a quick aioli dip for them using mayo, lemon juice and garlic.

For a tasty lunch treat air fry  some sweet potato slices. They're a great healthy side , perfect accompanying anything from sandwiches to soup. You can even eat them on their own, that's how delicious they are!
