Homemade Sweet Potato and Smoked Paprika Chips
Description
This recipe calls for roughly cutting sweet potatoes with skins left intact, coating them with smoked paprika, salt, and olive oil to infuse smoky warmth and seasoning. The chips are spaced on baking trays and baked at high temperature to develop crisp edges while retaining a soft center. Turning them halfway ensures even cooking and a nicely browned surface.
The smoky paprika adds depth without overwhelming the sweet potato's natural flavor, and the oil helps create a lightly crisp texture. Because the chips are baked rather than fried, they have a firmer but not greasy finish.
They make a tasty accompaniment to meals or a flavorful alternative to regular potato chips. Suitable for freezing, they can be prepared in advance and reheated.
Ingredients
- 1 kg sweet potato roughly 2 medium ones
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika (or normal paprika/cumin/cayenne pepper/dried chilli flakes, or a mixture)
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or melted coconut oil)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 220C / 200C fan / gas mark 7 / 425F.
- Cut the sweet potatoes roughly into chip shapes - leave the skin on for extra goodness!
- Place the sweet potatoes into a bowl and add the paprika, salt and oil. Mix together using your hands or a spoon (I find hands more effective!).
- Place the chips on a non stick baking tray, well spaced out so they are not touching each other. (You may need 2 or 3 baking trays... If you don’t have that many, improvise using roasting tins or pizza trays!).
- Put the baking trays in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, remove the trays from the oven and carefully turn over the chips using tongs or a fish slice (do this one tray at a time so the other chips don’t get cold).
- Put the trays back in the oven for a further 10 minutes or until cooked – I tend to find eating one is the best way to know if they are cooked or not ;-)
Notes
- These chips can be frozen, allowing for easy storage and reheating later.
