🍠 Crispy Kumara Chips Recipe (New Zealand-Style Sweet Potato Fries)

Crispy, golden kumara chips baked or fried to perfection! A healthy, delicious New Zealand snack made from sweet potatoes — easy and quick to make.

🌟 Why You’ll Love These Kumara Chips

These kumara chips — a New Zealand favorite — are sweet, crispy, and irresistibly golden. Made from orange or red kumara (sweet potato), they’re a healthier alternative to regular fries and can be baked or air-fried for a guilt-free snack.

Perfect for lunchboxes, sides, or party snacks, they’re crunchy on the outside and soft inside — seasoned simply for natural flavor.

🍠 Ingredients

  • 2 large kumara (sweet potatoes)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional for flavor)

🔪 Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Kumara

Wash and peel the kumara (optional for rustic texture). Slice into thin sticks or wedges for thicker chips.

Step 2: Season

In a bowl, toss kumara slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder until evenly coated.

Step 3: Bake or Air-Fry

For baking:

  • Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
  • Spread chips in a single layer on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway until crispy and golden.

For air-frying:

  • Cook at 190°C (375°F) for 15–18 minutes, shaking halfway.

Step 4: Serve

Sprinkle with extra sea salt and serve warm with your favorite dip — aioli, ketchup, or sour cream.

🍴 Serving Suggestions

  • Serve with homemade burgers, grilled chicken, or fish.
  • Add to lunchboxes as a healthy side.
  • Try with spicy mayo, guacamole, or yogurt dip for a tasty twist.

💡 Tips for Perfect Kumara Chips

  • Don’t overcrowd the tray — this helps them crisp evenly.
  • Soak the sliced kumara in cold water for 15 minutes before cooking to remove starch and increase crispiness.
  • Use red or orange kumara for the best flavor and color.

❓ FAQs

1. Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! Store cooled chips in an airtight container for up to 2 days, then reheat in the oven for a few minutes.

2. Are kumara chips healthy?
Absolutely — kumara is rich in vitamin A, fiber, and antioxidants.

3. Can I deep fry them?
Yes — fry in hot oil (180°C / 350°F) for 3–4 minutes until golden and crisp.
