Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400ºF.
- Scrub the sweet potato clean and pat dry.
- Using a mandolin, cut the sweet potato into ⅛-inch slices. Do your best to keep the slices even in size and thickness.
- Place sweet potato slices in a bowl and coat both sides with olive oil, salt, paprika and pepper.
- Place the sweet potato slices on a baking sheet in one layer, making sure the slices are not touching each other. Do not over crowd the baking sheet.
- Bake for 5 minutes (for slices about 2-inches wide), then flip over. Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until edges start to brown and crisp. The last few minutes are crucial as the chips can quickly go from perfect to burnt, so remove promptly when edges are starting to brown.
- Allow the chips to cool completely on the baking sheet to crisp further. then serve.
Notes
Serving Suggestions: Serve alone or with your favorite dip!
Cooking Tips: The key to making these chips is to make sure all of the chips are the same thickness and approximate size. Smaller pieces will brown faster and will need to removed before the larger slices are done baking.
If your oven runs too hot, bake the chips at a lower temperature for longer time, bake at 385ºF for 7-8 minutes per side.
