How to Make Homemade Vegetable Chips in the Air Fryer

Wash and peel the vegetables of your choice: beetroot, carrot, parsnip, sweet potato, etc. 🥕 Cut them into thin slices (1–2 mm) using a mandolin for even cooking and perfect crispness.
Dry each slice well with paper towels 🧻: the drier it is, the crispier it is!
Mix with a tablespoon of oil (olive or neutral), salt, spices (paprika, curry, herbes de Provence, whatever you like!).
Arrange the slices in a single layer in the Air Fryer basket (avoid overlapping).
Cook at 150–160°C for 10–14 minutes , depending on the vegetable. Turn halfway through cooking to dry both sides thoroughly. Keep an eye on the last few minutes: take out the golden chips as you go to prevent them from burning 🔥.
Let cool on a wire rack, they will finish drying and become ultra crispy 😍. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

FAQ — Air Fryer Vegetable Chips

Which vegetables should you use for a successful mix?

Anything that slices thinly: beetroot, carrot, parsnip, sweet potato, zucchini, turnip, celeriac… Mix the colors for a wow effect 🌈. Root vegetables make the crispiest chips.

How to prevent chips from getting soggy?

Drain the slices well before cooking and space them out in the Air Fryer. Let them cool on a wire rack; that's when the crispiness really comes out!

Can the chips be prepared in advance?

Yes! Once cooled, place them in an airtight container. If they soften, reheat them for 2 minutes at 150°C in the Air Fryer, they will become crispy again 🥳.

Which oil should I choose?

Olive oil for flavor, or a neutral oil for milder flavors. The important thing is to use very little to brown without saturating 😎.

Any ideas for spicing up chips?

Add smoked paprika, curry, herbs, grated parmesan (at the end of cooking), or even a lemon zest to twist the flavors 🍋.

Which Air Fryer Should I Choose for Chips?

A wide basket for even spreading, and ideally a model with a temperature adjustable to the nearest degree. Discover our selection of the best Air Fryers 2025 .
