Instructions
- 1.Preheat the oven to 170C.
- 2.Wash and dry the sweet potatoes.
- 3.Slice the sweet potatoes into 2-3 mm thin slices, you can use either a mandoline slicer, a sharp knife or even a spiralizer (how I do it).
- 4.In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with oil and salt.
- 5.Line a baking tray with foil and grease with olive oil.
- 6.Place the sweet potato slices onto the tray; make sure no slices are overlapping each other.
- 7.Bake for 5-7 minutes.
- 8.Rotate the tray and bake for another 3-5 minutes until the sweet potato slices turn crispy but not burnt. (They burn quite fast, so keep an eye on them.).
- 9.Remove your sweet potato crisps from the oven and let them cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
- 10.Sweet potato crisps are best served within an hour or so of baking.
- 11.*Tips: It is not easy to make perfect sweet potato crisps. If the oven temperature is too low or the slices are too thick, your crisps with turn out leathery and chewy. If the oven temperature is too high or the slices are too thin, they will burn. Don’t line your baking tray with parchment paper as this will stop your crisps from getting crispy. Although tricky, once you have mastered the timing and thickness, these crisps are a quick, healthy and delicious snack. Enjoy!
