Baked Sweet Potato Chips
Delightfully crisp and naturally sweet, these oven-baked sweet potato chips require only three simple ingredients. Perfect for a wholesome snack or a flavorful side, they're thinly sliced and slowly baked to a golden curl.
Ingredients
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 medium sweet potato scrubbed clean
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Set the oven to 300°F and prepare a baking sheet by placing a wire cooling rack on top.
- Slice the sweet potato into thin rounds, ensuring they are no thicker than ⅛ inch; a mandolin is ideal for uniformity.
- Place the slices into a large mixing bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt. Toss to coat thoroughly.
- Lay the slices out on the rack in a single layer; slight overlapping is acceptable.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, turning the chips every 10 minutes, until the edges begin to brown and curl.
- Remove from the oven and let the chips cool completely on the rack before transferring them to an airtight container for storage.
Notes
To achieve consistent crispness, a mandolin slicer is recommended for evenly thin chips, preventing uneven baking outcomes.
