Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large sweet potato
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for oven method)
- Pinch of salt and pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Select a sweet potato that is firm and uniform in size.
- Slice the sweet potato lengthwise into pieces about 1/4 inch thick. You should aim for 2 to 4 slices per potato.
- For Air Fryer Method: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the slices in a single layer in the basket, avoiding overlap. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender but firm.
- For Oven Method: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly brush both sides of the slices with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper, if using. Arrange slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and slightly softened.
- Remove the sweet potato slices from the cooking appliance. They are now ready to top.
Notes
- For the best results, choose sweet potatoes that are not overly long or curved.
- If your slices are very thin, they may crisp up quickly; monitor them closely during cooking.
- You can meal prep these slices by cooking them fully and storing them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat briefly before topping.
