Baked Sweet Potato Chips
Description
Baked Sweet Potato Chips are made by slicing a scrubbed sweet potato into even, thin rounds about ⅛-inch thick, typically using a sharp knife or mandoline for uniformity. The slices are tossed with olive oil and salt before being arranged in a single layer on a cooling rack placed over a baking sheet. This setup allows air circulation around each slice, promoting crispness.
They bake at 300°F for 30-40 minutes with flipping every ten minutes to ensure even cooking and browning. As the chips bake, edges curl and color deepens without burning, resulting in a chip that balances crunch with the natural softness of sweet potatoes. Cooling completely on the rack helps chips firm up further.
These chips serve as a healthier snack alternative or a side and can be seasoned further if desired. The technique emphasizes careful slicing and baking to control moisture and texture, aiming for even crispiness without frying.
Ingredients
- 1 sweet potato scrubbed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F. Prepare a baking sheet by fitting it with a large cooling rack.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the sweet potatoes into thin, even slices, no more than ⅛-inch thick. Transfer the sweet potato slices to a large bowl and toss with the oil and salt. Arrange in a single layer on the cooling rack (some slight overlap is ok).
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, flipping every ten minutes, or until curling and browning around the edges. Let cool completely on the cooling rack, then store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Using a mandoline slicer helps achieve thin and uniform slices, which ensures even baking and consistent crispness.
