Oven-Baked Sweet Potato Chips 🍠

• 2 sweet potatoes (ideally as close to being uniform in thickness as possible)
• olive oil
• kosher salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Wash the sweet potatoes well and slice them thinly on a mandoline or with a sharp chef's knife. DO NOT PEEL THEM. Sprinkle them with kosher salt (around 1/2 teaspoon/2.5ml coarse kosher salt) and let them sit in a colander to drain for 20–30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C). Lightly coat 2 aluminium baking sheets with olive oil. Do not use parchment paper or anything else—just the baking sheet.

2. 2

   Rinse the sweet potatoes under cold water and drain them very well on paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Drizzle them with olive oil, making sure each chip is coated well with oil.

3. 3

   Spread them in a single layer on your prepared baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Turn each sweet potato chip and bake for another 30–60 minutes (this will depend on how thinly you sliced them) until they are crisp and look like chips. In addition, rotate the baking sheets from top to bottom and turn them 180° for even cooking. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to remove extra oil, and season with kosher salt. Feel free to add any other spices of your choice (paprika, chipotle, cayenne, garlic powder, etc.). Just to confirm, the total baking time will be around 1.5–2 hours. Enjoy!
