Prep the Sweet Potatoes: Start by thoroughly washing and peeling the sweet potatoes. After peeling, slice them thinly into rounds, ideally about 0.125 inch thick for maximum crunchiness.
Soak the Slices: Place the sweet potato slices in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for around 30 minutes.
Dry the Slices: After soaking, drain the slices and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Season the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, toss the dried sweet potato slices with olive oil, sea salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Ensure each slice is evenly coated.
Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.
Air Fry the Chips: Place the sweet potato slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cook Until Crispy: Air fry the slices for about 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
Cool and Garnish: Transfer the sweet potato crisps to a wire rack to cool.
Serve & Enjoy: Enjoy your crunchy sweet potato crisps as a healthy snack.
