Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, beets, and carrots. Leave the skin on the zucchini if desired.
Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice all the vegetables into very thin rounds, approximately 1/8 inch thick.
Place all the vegetable slices in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, ensuring each slice is lightly coated, but not soaked in oil.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the vegetable slices and gently toss to ensure even coating.
Arrange the vegetable slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Avoid overlapping slices to ensure even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then carefully flip each slice and continue baking for another 10 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and lightly browned.
Keep an eye on the chips during the last few minutes of baking, as some slices may cook faster than others depending on thickness.
Once cooked, remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes to crisp up further.
Serve immediately as a crispy, delightful snack or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
