Crispy Herb and Parmesan Sweet Potato Chips

Steps

1. 1 Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
2. 2 Scrub the sweet potatoes under cool running water to remove any dirt, and pat dry with a paper towel.
3. 3 Slice the sweet potatoes lengthwise into rounds about 1/8 inch thick, using a mandoline or sharp knife; you want thin, chip-like slices that will crisp up during air frying.
4. 4 Place the sweet potato slices in a large bowl.
5. 5 Add the extra virgin olive oil, cornstarch, garlic powder, dried thyme, kosher salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
6. 6 Toss gently with your hands or a rubber spatula until every slice is evenly coated; the cornstarch and oil will create a light, crispy coating.
7. 7 Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, overlapping slightly if needed but making sure no two slices are stacked.
8. 8 Air fry for 10 to 12 minutes at 400°F, until the edges begin to curl and turn golden brown; shake the basket or flip slices halfway through for even cooking.
9. 9 Remove the air fryer basket and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the hot sweet potato chips; the residual heat will help the cheese adhere.
10. 10 Return to the air fryer for 1 to 2 minutes, just until the Parmesan begins to melt and turn light golden.
11. 11 Transfer the chips to a paper towel-lined plate or cooling rack to crisp up for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
12. 12 Serve while still warm and crunchy.
