1. Air-Fryer Sweet Potato Chips (Gluten-Free) Recipe 

Air-fried sweet potato chips are tasty and colorful. These are better options than oily potato chips. And with an air-fryer, you can make them easily. 

The taste of these chips is naturally sweet and salty. They are always ready to dip into your favorite sauce to give surprize to your tastebuds.

Wanna make it? Then, scroll a little down and learn how to do it: 

Ingredients:

• 1 large sweet potato
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment: 

• Air fryer 

Instructions:

Step 1

Get your air fryer and preheat it to 400°F (200°C). Then, wash and dry the sweet potato carefully. You can use a sharp knife to slice the potato into thin rounds (about 1/8 inch thick). Try to keep even slices for better cooking.

Step 2

After that, take a large bowl and toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Coat each slice.

Step 3

Now, put the sweet potato slices in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Leave some space between them. It will maintain a good air circulation. Then, air fry for 15-20 minutes. In the halfway, flip them so they get golden brown and crispy.

Step 4

• If you want a spicy kick? Just add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix!

2. Gluten-Free Popcorn Recipe

The recipe that I am going to share with you now I learned from my grandma. It happened when my youngest child was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder. My son, he is a movie lover. He just loves having popcorn while watching movies. But I had to buy them from the outside.

But when I learned that most store-bought movie night popcorn contains butter and hidden gluten, I made the decision to prepare gluten-free popcorn at home. I went to my grandma and wrote down how can I make gluten-free popcorn. 

So, are you ready to make gluten-free popcorn at home, then here is the recipe: 

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup popcorn kernels (certified gluten-free)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon nutritional yeast (adds a cheesy flavor)
• 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper

Instructions:

Step 1

Take a large pot with a lid. Put the olive oil and heat it over medium heat. Then, add the popcorn kernels and swirl them around in the oil until they get coated.

Step 2

Cover the pot tightly and wait until the popcorn starts popping. And after a few seconds later, take the pot off the heat. 

Step 3

Now, just quickly pour the popcorn into a big bowl. Sprinkle with nutritional yeast, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, and give it a good mix. Yep! You’re done.

Variations

Personally, I love to drizzle the popcorn with melted coconut oil and toss it with a mixture of cinnamon sugar or cocoa powder. Try it just once. Trust me, it will change your popcorn experience forever.
