  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: About 4 servings

Ingredients

Sweet Potato Chips

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed and peeled (optional)
  • 1½ tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper (optional)
  • Optional seasonings: paprika, garlic powder, cinnamon, or chili powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Slice Sweet Potatoes: Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the sweet potatoes into very thin, even rounds, approximately 1/16 inch thick, which will help them crisp up effectively.
  3. Toss with Oil: Place the sweet potato slices in a large bowl and toss them with the olive oil until they are evenly coated, promoting a golden-brown finish during baking.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheets: Lay the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure the slices do not overlap to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  5. Season: Sprinkle the chips evenly with sea salt and add optional seasonings like black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, cinnamon, or chili powder according to your taste preferences.
  6. Bake First Side: Bake the chips for 10 minutes, then carefully flip each slice to ensure even browning on both sides.
  7. Bake Second Side: Continue baking for an additional 10–15 minutes, watching closely until the chips turn lightly browned and crisp.
  8. Cool and Crisp: Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes; they will become even crispier as they cool.

Notes

  • Slice the sweet potatoes evenly to achieve consistent crispiness across all chips.
  • For extra-crispy chips, bake on the middle rack and rotate the baking sheets halfway through the cooking time.
  • Store cooled chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
  • If chips soften after storage, re-crisp them in the oven for 3–5 minutes before serving.
