Quick & easy Air fryer sweet potato rounds are crispy, sweet, & spicy. The simple recipe takes less than 30 minutes & is only 6 ingredients. A great snack, side, or appetizer. A healthy way to eat them - also gluten-free, paleo, Whole30, vegan, dairy-free, & low-fat.
Begin by cleaning, drying, and peeling the sweet potatoes. I had one very large potato to peel but you may have 2 to equal one pound.
1 pound sweet potatoes
Using a sharp chef's knife, slice rounds that are ½" thick. It is important to make them as uniform in size as possible. This will ensure they will all cook evenly.
Preheat the air fryer to 370°. Set the timer for 15 minutes.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the 4 spices together and stir.
½ teaspoon sweet paprika, ¼ teaspoon salt, ⅛ teaspoon black pepper, ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Lightly spray one side of the slices with the avocado oil. Sprinkle all the rounds with the seasoning blend. Use ½ of what is in the bowl, reserving the other half for the other side of the sweet potatoes.Flip the slices over and repeat. Spray them with the avocado oil and sprinkle on the remaining half of the spices.

Once the air fryer is preheated, carefully add the slices to the air fryer. Place them in a single layer. It is also best to have a bit of space between each if you can. This helps them get crispy on all edges.
Let them cook for the 15 minutes that is on the timer. If you have a basket-style air fryer, you may want to flip them over halfway through cooking. I have a tray and did not need to flip or rotate the sweet potato slices.
Once the air frying is complete, use a set of tongs to carefully remove the crispy cooked sweet potato slices from the air fryer.
Top with fresh parsley if deserved. Serve and enjoy immediately.
