Baked Sweet Potato Chips
Baked Sweet Potato Chips offer a satisfying crunch with a hint of natural sweetness. These chips are a healthier option compared to their deep-fried counterparts, as they are baked to perfection with minimal oil. You can customize the flavor by adding your favorite seasonings, making them a versatile snack or accompaniment to your meals.
INGREDIENTS
- 2-3 medium sweet potatoes, washed and peeled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional seasonings: Paprika, garlic powder, rosemary, thyme
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, thinly slice the sweet potatoes into uniform rounds. Try to make them as thin as possible for crispy chips.
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil, making sure each slice is coated evenly.
Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping.
Sprinkle the sweet potato slices with salt and pepper. If using optional seasonings, sprinkle them on as well.
Bake the sweet potato chips in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, flipping the chips halfway through the baking time. Keep an eye on them as they can easily go from golden brown to burnt.
The chips are done when they are crisp and slightly golden around the edges. The baking time may vary based on the thickness of the slices.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chips cool slightly before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Serve:
Serve the Baked Sweet Potato Chips as a healthier alternative to traditional potato chips.
Enjoy these crispy and flavorful chips as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.
TIPS
For even slices, consider using a mandoline slicer set to a thin setting.
To ensure even cooking, make sure the sweet potato slices are of similar thickness.
