Oven-Baked Sweet Potato Chips
I just love these! You can eat them as is, you can season them with your favourite spices and you can top just about anything with them, making them the pièce de résistance of any dish. Sweet potato’s composition is tricky. Lots of moisture, making it hard to crisp up […]
