Tips
Try a sweet variation and spread maple syrup or homemade jam on top. It’s not just the savory version that tastes good.
Cut the sweet potatoes into evenly thin slices so that they all crisp up at the same time. Set the temperature and time according to your air fryer, as each hot air fryer works differently. Don’t place them too close together so that the air can circulate. These air fryer sweet potato slices are best enjoyed hot, when they are at their crispiest.
