Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb mixed vegetables such as sweet potatoes, zucchini, carrots, or beets
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp paprika

Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer
  • 1 Mandoline Slicer Optional, but highly recommended for thin, even slices.

Instructions
 

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry your vegetables. Peel if desired. Using a mandoline slicer or a very sharp knife, slice the vegetables into very thin, uniform rounds (about 1/16-inch thick).
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the vegetable slices with olive oil until lightly coated. Add the sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika, and toss again to distribute the seasonings evenly.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the seasoned vegetable slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, being careful not to overcrowd it. Work in batches if necessary.
  4. Air fry for 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the chips are golden brown and crispy. Keep a close watch during the last few minutes as they can burn quickly.
  5. Remove the chips from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes—they will crisp up more as they cool. Serve immediately with your favorite dip.

Notes

Best Vegetables: Starchy vegetables like sweet potatoes, beets, and carrots work best for the crispiest results.
Storage: Store leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Re-crisp in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes.
