Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, washed and scrubbed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp sea salt (or to taste)
- Optional seasonings: paprika, garlic powder, cinnamon, or black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Slice the Sweet Potatoes: Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, thinly slice the sweet potatoes into rounds, about 1/8-inch thick. The thinner the slices, the crispier the chips will be.
- Toss with Olive Oil: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil until they are evenly coated.
- Arrange on Baking Sheets: Lay the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure they don’t overlap. Sprinkle with sea salt and any additional seasonings you like (paprika, garlic powder, etc.).
- Bake: Bake the sweet potato chips for 40-50 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy and lightly browned. Keep a close eye on them toward the end to prevent burning.
- Cool and Serve: Let the chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to crisp up further. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for a few days.
These Baked Sweet Potato Chips are the perfect guilt-free snack, combining natural sweetness and crunch with endless flavor possibilities!
