Scale
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1½ teaspoons chili powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- â…› teaspoon seasoned salt (such as Lawry’s, to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or line it with foil and oil to prevent sticking. Set the baking sheet aside for later use.
- Slice Sweet Potatoes: Using a mandoline slicer or a very sharp knife, slice the sweet potatoes into thin rounds. Choose ¼ inch thickness for thicker chips or ⅛ inch for thinner, crispier chips.
- Prepare Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, kosher salt, and seasoned salt to create a flavorful coating for the chips.
- Coat Sweet Potatoes: Add the sliced sweet potatoes to the bowl and toss gently, ensuring each slice is evenly coated with the seasoned olive oil mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the coated sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Bake the Chips: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the slices for about 10 minutes on one side. Then carefully flip them over and bake for another 10 minutes until they become golden and tender.
- Broil for Crispiness: After baking, switch the oven to broil on high. Broil the chips on each side for just a couple of minutes to achieve extra crispness. Watch them closely to avoid burning.
- Serve: Remove the chips from the oven and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces for a perfect snack experience.
Notes
- Use a mandoline slicer for uniformly thin slices to ensure even baking and crispiness.
- Adjust chili powder based on your preferred spice level.
- Keep a close eye during the broiling step to prevent burning as the chips can crisp quickly.
- These chips are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated carefully to retain crispiness.
