Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh chopped rosemary
  • 2 medium organic sweet potatoes
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Method
 

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
  1. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). A hot oven will help achieve the crispy texture you desire. Let’s get that heat going!
Step 2: Prepare the Sweet Potatoes
  1. Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. There’s no need to peel them; the skin provides additional nutrients and fiber. Slice them thinly—about 1/8 inch thick. A mandoline works best for consistent slices.
Step 3: Seasoning
  1. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil, salt, smoked paprika, and fresh rosemary. Ensure each slice is evenly coated. This step is vital as well-seasoned chips will make every bite delightful.
Step 4: Arrange on Baking Sheet
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. It prevents sticking and helps with crispiness. Spread the sweet potato slices in a single layer—no one wants soggy chips! Make sure they have room to breathe.
Step 5: Bake
  1. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes. Halfway through, flip the chips to ensure even cooking. Keep an eye on them; as they cool, they’ll crisp up even more.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
  1. Once they’re golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. This cooling period is crucial for achieving that perfect crunch. Enjoy them as is or with your favorite dip!

Notes

  • Slice Evenly: Use a mandoline slicer for uniform thickness. Consistent slices ensure even baking.
  • Don’t Overcrowd: Give the chips space on the baking sheet. Overcrowding leads to steaming rather than crisping.
  • Watch Closely: Baking times may vary based on your oven. Check the chips toward the end to prevent burning.
  • Experiment with Spices: Try adding cayenne for heat or garlic powder for an extra kick. Customization is key!
  • Storage: Allow the chips to cool completely before storing to maintain their crispiness.
