Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon optional seasonings (e.g., smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 225°F (110°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, if desired. Use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife to slice the sweet potatoes into very thin, even slices (about 1/8 inch thick).
Place the sweet potato slices in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss gently to coat them evenly.
Arrange the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure they do not overlap to ensure even drying.
Sprinkle sea salt and any optional seasonings evenly over the sweet potato slices.
Place the baking sheets in the oven and bake for 1 hour. After the first hour, flip each slice over carefully to promote even drying.
Continue baking for an additional 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the chips are crispy and slightly golden. Keep an eye on them during the last 15 minutes to prevent burning.
Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheets. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Store the cooled sweet potato chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
