Sweet Potato Chips

Prep Notes

When the sweet potatoes are similar in size, they cook evenly in the oven
I used to cut the sweet potatoes using a mandolin (very thin chips), but I found that using a knife brings out better chips that do not burn in the oven!

Cooking Time

40 minutes

Yields

5 servings

Ingredients

6 medium sweet potatoes
2 tbsp olive oil
Sea salt, to taste
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp paprika
A pinch of cayenne pepper powder (optional)

Directions

Heat the oven to 150 degrees C
Wash the sweet potatoes with a brush until all the dirt has come off
Using a sharp knife, cut into thin discs (the thinnest you can using a knife)
In a bowl, add the sweet potato discs, olive oil and spices and mix thoroughly using hands
Arrange the discs on a baking sheet on the oven baking tray. Make sure they are only one layer.
Bake at 150 degrees C for 40 minutes or until slightly crispy and the edges are slightly browned.

Tip: If you're making this recipe for the first time, keep close attention to the sweet potatoes after 30 minutes. Take note of the best time/consistency combination according to your oven.
