Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Sweet potato
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Optional seasonings (paprika, garlic powder, or cinnamon)
Instructions
Wash and dry the sweet potato thoroughly. Do not peel the skin unless desired.
Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the sweet potato into very thin, even rounds, approximately 1/16-inch thick.
In a medium-sized bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil to ensure they are lightly coated. Add salt and any optional seasonings, then mix well.
Take a large microwavable plate and line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Arrange the sweet potato slices on the plate in a single layer without overlapping.
Microwave on high power for 2-3 minutes, then carefully flip the slices over. Microwave again for another 2-3 minutes, or until the chips are crisp and starting to brown. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave, so keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Remove the chips from the microwave and allow them to cool on a wire rack. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Repeat the process with remaining sweet potato slices, if necessary.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
