Sweet Potato Chips/Crisps

Sweet Potato Chips/Crisps are a delicious relatively healthy version compared to the mass produced. Best of all, you can adapt the chips/crisps according to your flavour favourites. I like to add a pinch or two of paprika for a little warmth but the choice is yours. Please let me know what you try and how it went. Serve as a snack and a side dish but brilliant for movie night at home with the kids.

Sweet Potato Chips/Crisps

An amazing flavour without all of the deep fried cooking and E numbers. Lovely and tasty and adaptable.

Ingredients

 

MetricImperial

• 680 g sweet potatoes wiped clean
• 80 ml olive oil
• Salt
• Paprika cayenne, chilli powder (optional)

Instructions

• Turn on your oven to preheat at 150C/300F/Gas Mark 2.
• For best result use either a mandolin slicer or a food processor with a slicer part. Which ever you use, set to the thinnest setting possible to make the crispiest chips. Wipe the sweet potatoes with a damp kitchen paper but do not peel.
  680 g sweet potatoes
• Slice the sweet potatoes into thin slices leaving the skin on.
• Place the slices into a mixing bowl and add the olive oil. Toss the slices so they all get coated with oil.
  80 ml olive oil
• Line at least two large baking trays with parchment paper (greaseproof) and place the now oil coated slices in a single layer on the tray.
• Sprinkle the crisps with salt and paprika, chilli powder or cayenne (optional) giving them all a good coverage.
  Salt, Paprika
• Place in the heated oven for 20 minutes or until the slices are lovely and crispy.
• Remove from the oven and cool for 5 – 10 minutes whilst on the baking sheets. I do a touch test so make sure they are all cooked properly. Any that have a soft part, just put back in the oven for another few minutes.
• Transfer the chips/crisps to a bowl to serve or into an airtight container/bag to store.
