Recipe Yield: 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

2 medium sweet potatoes, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
2. Slice the sweet potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Slice them very thinly using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife (the thinner, the crispier!).
3. Toss with oil and salt: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil until evenly coated. Sprinkle with sea salt and toss again.
4. Arrange on the baking sheet: Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap.
5. Bake: Bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chips are golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them toward the end to avoid burning.
6. Cool and serve: Allow chips to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Optional Serving Suggestion: These chips are perfect as a side snack with any meal or served alongside a refreshing homemade dip like guacamole, hummus, or your favorite salsa.

Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe:

  • Use a Mandoline: For even crispiness, slice the sweet potatoes as thin as possible using a mandoline slicer. This ensures uniform baking and the perfect crunch.
  • Watch the Oven: Sweet potato chips can go from crispy to burnt quickly. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes of baking to avoid overcooking.
  • Experiment with Seasonings: Feel free to add extra seasonings like paprika, garlic powder, or cayenne for an extra flavor boost. Experiment to find your perfect taste!
