Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Wash and dry the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the sweet potatoes into thin, even rounds, about 1/8-inch thick.
Place the sweet potato slices in a large bowl. Drizzle them with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create the barbecue seasoning.
Sprinkle the barbecue seasoning over the sweet potato slices, and toss until each slice is evenly coated.
Lay the seasoned sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Make sure the slices do not overlap to ensure even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes. Then, flip the chips over and continue baking for another 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and lightly browned. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Once done, remove the chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5–10 minutes to crisp up further.
Serve immediately as a snack or side dish. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
