Belonging to the family Convolvulaceae, sweet potato is a dicotyledonous plant and is grown in many parts of the world. Apart from being very good for health - as they are rich in carbohydrates - sweet potatoes are extremely delicious.
Ingredients
- Large organic sweet potatoes - 2
- Olive oil - 1 to 2 tablespoons
- Salt - A pinch (it is optional)
Instructions
- Before you starting making the baked sweet potato chips, you need to make sure that your oven is in working condition.
- Clean the oven with a dry cloth and preheat it to 200 degrees C.
- The next step is to wash your sweet potatoes nicely and make sure that dirt (if any) has been removed.
- Having rinsed the sweet potatoes, you should now dry them up thoroughly to ensure smoother cutting.
- You can slice your sweet potatoes according to your preferred size.
- Many experts recommend that you use a vegetable peeler with half of the batch a knife with the remaining half.
- Using this way, the slices are likely to come out a little thicker but do not worry because they will be as crispy as the extremely thinner ones.
- However, these slices will be a lot more substantial and will allow you to enjoy the best flavour.
- If you are not comfortable with this method, you should look to stick with the technique that suits you the most.
- You can now toss the sweet potato slices in a bit of olive oil and spread some salt over them.
- Place the slices in a baking sheet in a single layer and bake them for approximately 90 to 120 minutes.
- You may flip the slices a couple of times in between to make sure they are being evenly cooked.
- Once they are slightly golden and crisp, you may remove them from the oven.
- However, you should ensure that they are not too dark.
