Salt & Vinegar Sweet Potato Chips
Description
This recipe involves slicing sweet potatoes into thin discs, coating them in malt vinegar by shaking in a sealed bag, and resting to allow the vinegar flavor to permeate. The slices are then drained and arranged on a baking sheet in a single layer. The chips are baked at 375°F and flipped halfway through, with sea salt applied in two stages for even seasoning. Cooking spray helps promote crisping. Once cooled, the chips hold a sharp vinegar tang balanced by the natural sweetness and offer a satisfyingly crisp bite.
The process avoids frying by using vinegar marination and oven baking, producing a snack that carries the characteristic salt and vinegar flavor in a sweet potato form. These chips can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days, retaining their crispness for snacking between meals.
Ingredients
- 2-3 sweet potato
- ⅓ cup malt vinegar
- 3 teaspoons sea salt or 2 teaspoons fine grain sea salt, coarse
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375. Scrub sweet potatoes and pat dry. Line a large baking sheet with nonstick foil and spray generously with cooking spray.
- Thinly slice sweet potatoes into round discs. You can use a mandolin slicer if you have one, I did not, so I used a really sharp knife and that worked great. Place all of the potato discs in a large plastic zip lock bag. Add malt vinegar, seal, and shake to coat the potatoes. Allow to rest at room temperature 10-15 minutes.
- Drain the bag and place all of the potato discs in a single layer on prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with half of the sea salt and spray generously with cooking spray. Bake 15-20 minutes. Use a thin spatula to flip the potato discs over. Sprinkle with remaining sea salt. Bake another 15-20 minutes until chips are crispy. Remove and allow to cool completely. Store in airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
- Store the chips in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness for up to five days.
