Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 pound / 450 grams)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (30 ml)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt (5 grams)
- Optional: 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (1 gram)
- Optional: pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and dry the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skin on or peel if preferred.
- Slice the sweet potatoes into thin rounds about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick using a mandoline or sharp knife.
- Place the slices in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Add smoked paprika or black pepper if using. Toss gently to coat evenly.
- Arrange the slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then carefully flip each chip using tongs or a spatula.
- Continue baking for another 10-15 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning. Chips should be golden brown and crisp.
- Remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool and crisp further. Avoid stacking immediately.
- Once cooled, enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days.
Notes
Use a mandoline for even thin slices to ensure crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to prevent steaming. Flip chips halfway through baking for even browning. Store chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days; avoid refrigeration to keep them crisp. Optional seasonings like smoked paprika or black pepper add flavor variations.
