Sweet Potato Chips (servings 8-10)

Ingredients: 

  • 1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes

  • 1/3 cup olive oil or coconut oil

  • sea salt

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line several baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Use a mandolin slicer to cut the sweet potatoes into paper-thin rounds. (I set mine to the thinnest setting.) You can use a knife to do this, but it takes much longer.

Pile all the sweet potato rounds into a large bowl and pour the olive oil over the top. 

Gently toss to coat every piece with oil. Then lay the sweet potato rounds out on the baking sheets in a single layer.

Sprinkle the chips lightly with sea salt. Bake for 20-25 minutes until crisp and golden around the edges. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets. Then move the chips to a bowl, or plastic bag to store. 

If you happen to find a few chips with soft centers, pop them back in the oven for about 5 minutes.
