These Baked Sweet Potato Chips are a healthy, crispy, and delicious snack made with just three simple ingredients—sweet potatoes, olive oil, and salt. Customizable with your favorite seasonings, these oven-baked chips are a great alternative to regular potato chips. Perfect for dipping or munching on their own, these chips are a nutritious and satisfying treat!
Ingredients
- 2 sweet potatoes (scrubbed and unpeeled)
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Optional: Seasonings like garlic powder, chili lime, or cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 225°F (107°C) and place the oven racks in the middle two levels for optimal airflow.
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Slice the sweet potatoes into thin, even slices (about ⅛ to 1/16 inch thick) using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife.
- Coat the Chips: Arrange the sweet potato slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly brush both sides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Optionally, add seasonings like garlic powder, cinnamon, or chili lime.
- Bake: Bake for about 1 ½ hours, flipping the slices at the 1-hour mark. Rotate the pans if needed. Check the chips every 15 minutes after the first hour to avoid burning.
- Cool and Crisp: Once golden brown and slightly curled at the edges, remove the chips from the oven. Let them cool on a wire rack, where they’ll continue to crisp up.
Notes
- Seasoning Options: Customize with garlic powder, smoked paprika, cinnamon, or chili lime for a flavor boost.
- Sweet Version: For a sweet treat, sprinkle with cinnamon and a touch of sugar.
- Savory Twist: Add garlic salt or Parmesan for a savory flavor.
