Take note
Please be cautious when handling sharp knives and hot oil during the cooking process. Always use oven mitts to protect yourself from potential burns.

1

Preheat the oven and gather the ingredients

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gather the following ingredients: - 4 large sweet potatoes - 2 tablespoons olive oil - 1 teaspoon salt - 1 teaspoon black pepper - Optional: additional seasonings (such as paprika, garlic powder, or cayenne pepper) to taste.

2

Wash and prepare the sweet potatoes

Thoroughly wash the sweet potatoes to remove any dirt or debris. Leave the skin intact, as it adds a delightful crunch to your chips. Pat them dry using a kitchen towel or paper towel.

3

Slice the sweet potatoes into thin strips

Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, carefully slice the sweet potatoes into thin, even strips. Aim for thicknesses of around 1/4 inch (6 mm) for a crispy texture. Make sure to keep your fingers away from the blade to avoid any accidents!

4

Toss the sweet potato strips in olive oil and seasonings

In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato strips with olive oil until evenly coated. Add salt, black pepper, and any additional seasonings you desire. Give them a good mix to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.

5

Arrange the sweet potato strips on a baking sheet

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Lay the seasoned sweet potato strips in a single layer, making sure they aren't overcrowded. This allows them to cook evenly and become nicely crispy.

6

Bake until golden and crispy

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the sweet potato chips are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes to prevent burning.

7

Let cool and enjoy!

Once the sweet potato skin chips are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. As they cool, they'll become even crispier. Serve them as a standalone snack or pair them with your favorite dip. Enjoy!
