How to make sweet potato chips

Making the chips is easy. For slicing it's the best to use a mandolin slicer. It does the job quickly and you get even slices, which is important while baking (they don't burn on the edges).

  1. So, start with slicing the sweet potatoes on 1mm thick slices. 

  2. Arrange slices on the baking sheet (lined with baking paper) in a single layer, leaving some space around each slice. Don't overcrowd the sheet as the heat creates steam and chips will be tender instead of crisp.

  3. Brush gently each slice with some olive oil and sprinkle with a touch of salt.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip each slice (using kitchen tongs or two small spoons) and bake for another 6-7 minutes. The time of baking depends on thickness of the slices and the strength of your oven so you may need to bake them a couple of minutes more or less. In any case sweet potato chips go from perfect to burnt very quickly so watch them carefully while baking.

Once baked, leave the chips on the sheet for about 10 minutes, they'll crisp up a little more as they cool. At this stage, you can season the chips with your favourite spice or herb. We love to sprinkle with some dried oregano or with garlic granules!
