Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into thin chip-like slices, about 1/4 inch thick, ensuring even thickness for uniform cooking.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, oregano, thyme, and black pepper.
Add the sweet potato slices to the bowl and toss well to evenly coat all pieces with the spice mixture.
Spread the sweet potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, avoiding overlapping for optimal crispness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip the chips over and bake for another 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the chips from the oven and immediately sprinkle them with lemon juice for a fresh kick.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for an extra burst of color and a hint of freshness.
Enjoy your heart-healthy peri peri chips as a snack or side dish, knowing you're savoring a delicious, guilt-free treat!
