Crispy Smashed Sweet Potato Chips

Notes from Nourishible editors

Written by our recipe team from the video and the method above.

• Technique · Step 5: Steaming first is what lets the rounds flatten under the cup without cracking, and the thin, wide surface is what crisps in the air fryer.
• Quantity · Step 6: 'To sprinkle' is open-ended; about 1 teaspoon of black sesame across a full sheet pan is where we'd start, for a light coating.
• Scaling · Step 7: Keep the rounds in a single layer. Doubling the batch in one crowded basket steams them instead of crisping, so cook in two rounds.
• Equipment · Step 7: No air fryer? A hot oven on a lined sheet pan can crisp them too, though it will take longer. Check early and flip once.
